Docket No: 1372-01
14 August 2001
Dear
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 26 July 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 did not accept your unsubstantiated contentions to the effect that you were
mistakenly thought to have attempted to commit suicide while in the Marine Corps, that you
did not suffer from a personality disorder, and that you did not want to get out of the Marine
Corps.
It found that you underwent a psychiatric evaluation while hospitalized from 4 to 6
February 1986, after you were observed making a suicidal gesture. You indicated that you
had felt increasingly depressed and homesick since entering the service, and that you had a
poor appetite and difficulty sleeping. You reported that you felt angry toward your superiors
for treating you like an “animal”, and expressed your anger passively by doing less than was
expected of you. You admitted that you had impulsively ingested a number of analgesic
tablets together with one-half of a bottle of cough syrup; however, you stated that you
wanted
. .to be home, not dead”, and that you did not have thoughts of suicide. The
examining psychiatrist described your mood as depressed, and your affect as tearful. He felt
that you had made a manipulative suicidal gesture. He gave you a diagnosis of a mixed
personality disorder, with
that you be discharged from the Marine Corps. You were discharged in accordance with his
avoidant and passive aggressive traits, severe, and recommended
. ”
findings on 21 February 1986, without objection by you.
In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that the diagnosed made in your case and
your discharge from the Marine Corps were erroneous, and that you were unfit by reason of
physical disability incurred in or aggravated by your service, 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 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
