Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your 
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 7 March  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 on 23 March 1976 you enlisted in the Navy at 
age 19.  Although the record does not contain the psychiatric 
evaluation and the separation processing documents, it appears 
that the commanding officer directed that you be separated with 
an honorable discharge by  reason of unsuitability due to a 
diagnosed personality disorder.  The record clearly shows'that on 
8 April  1976 you were discharged with an honorable discharge by 
reason of unsuitability.  At that time you were assigned a- 
reenlistment code of RE-3P. 

In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed all 
potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and 
immaturity.  However, the Board concluded that these factors were 
not sufficient to warrant a change in the reason for discharge. 
Therefore, the Board concluded that no change in the reason for 
discharge is warranted. 

The Board noted that an RE-3P  reenlistment code is the most 
favorable reenlistment authorized by  regulatory guidance for 

individuals discharged due to a personality disorder.  The Board 
thus concluded that there is no error or injustice in your 
reenlistment code. 

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 official 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. 

Sincerely, 

W.  DEAN PFEIFFER 
Executive Director
