DEPARTMENT OF THE NAV
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
Y
2 NAW ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 203704100
JRE
Docket No: 2857-99
19 June 2000
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 25 May 2000. 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 reenlisted in the Marine Corps on 18 January 1978. You received
nonjudicial punishment on three occasions, and were convicted by summary and special
courts-martial, and accumulated 194 days lost time. On 8 June 1982, you were evaluated by
a psychiatrist and given a diagnosis of a schizotypal personality disorder. The diagnosis was
confirmed by another psychiatrist on 13 July 1982. You were discharged from the Marine
Corps on 29 July 1982, with a discharge under other than honorable conditions, by reason of
misconduct/frequent involvement of a discreditable nature with military authorities.
The Board noted that a schizotypal personality disorder is not a psychotic disorder, and it is
a different, much less severe disorder than schizophrenia. Although a personality disorder
may render a service member unsuitable for military service, it is not considered a disability
under the laws administered by the Department of the Navy. Based on its review of the
available records, the Board was not persuaded that you suffered from a major mental
disorder during your service in the Marine Corps, or that your numerous acts of misconduct
should be excused because you suffered from a mental disorder. The Board concluded that
your service was appropriately characterized by a discharge under other than honorable
conditions. 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
