DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 2266-01
31 May 2001
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 23 May 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 enlisted in the Navy on 12 June 1991 at age 18. On
10 December 1992 a substance use evaluation diagnosed you as being alcohol
dependent. On 6 February 1993 you completed Level III inpatient treatment.
Subsequently, you received two nonjudicial punishments. The offenses
included an unauthorized absence of ten days, being drunk in public, drunk
driving, and failure to pay just debts. On 10 November 1993 you received an
honorable discharge by reason of alcohol abuse rehabilitation failure. At
that time you were assigned a reenlistment code of
RE-4.
Applicable regulations require the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code
to individuals discharged because of alcohol abuse. Since you have been
treated no differently than others discharged for that reason, the Board
could not find an error or injustice in the assignment of the RE-4
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
