Docket No: 213-01
23 October 2001
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the
provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 12 October 2001. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures
applicable to the proceedings of this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board
consisted of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your
naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
The Board found that you underwent a pre-enlistment physical examination on 15 June 1999.
“murmer” [sic] at age 18 months.
The only significant medical history you disclosed was a
You advised the examining physician that your mother had told you that you had a heart
murmur when you were an infant, but “not lately”. You concealed your history of a cleft
mitral valve and mitral insufficiency, which are disqualifying for military service;
consequently, you were found physically qualified for enlistment. On or about 23 August
(VSD),
1999, a-civilian physician determined that you might have a ventricular septal defect
and he recommended further testing with more sensitive equipment. Testing conducted on
27 June 2000 disclosed the presence of a thickened and redundant mitral valve leaflet and
redundant
membranous VSD. You did not disclose this new information when your Navy physical
examination was updated on 8 June 2000. You enlisted in the Navy on that date, and served
until 19 July 2000, when you were discharged for failing to meet medical/physical
procurement fitness standards because of the aforementioned heart defects. Discharge
processing was prompted by your complaints of chest pain, and disclosure that a civilian
chordae, cleft anterior leaflet with moderate mitral regurgitation, and a
peri-
physician had advised you to avoid vigorous exercise because of your heart conditions. Tests
conducted by a Navy cardiologist essentially confirmed the findings made on 27 June 2000,
as described above.
Based on the foregoing, it was clear to the Board that you are not physically qualified for
military service. As you have not demonstrated that your discharge was erroneous or unjust,
the Board was unable to recommend any corrective action in your case. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be
taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new
and material evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board. In this
regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all
records. Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
