Docket No: 1119-01
8 March 2001
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
