REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD

(a) 10 U.S.C. 1552

(1) DD Form 149
(2) Subject’s naval record

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject,
filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect,
show that he was assigned a reenlistment code of RE-3,
18 December 1998.

hereinafter referred to as Petitioner,
that his naval record be corrected to
vice the RE-4 code he received on

2. The Board, consisting of Mses. Davies and Schnittman and Dr. Schultz reviewed
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 21 June 2001 and, pursuant to its
regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the
enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations
of error and injustice finds as follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies

available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. Enclosure (1) was filed in a timely manner.

c.

Petitioner served in the Navy on from 29 October to 18 December 1998, when he
was discharged for failing to meet procurement medical standards because of recalcitrant
retropatellar pain. He received a reenlistment code of RE-4, as required by governing
directives.

d. SECNAVINST 1900.8 provides, in effect, that Sailors discharged for failing to meet

procurement medical/physical standards will be assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code. Those
discharged because of erroneous enlistment assigned a code of RB-4 or 
discretion of the commanding officer.

RB-3E, in the

e.

Petitioner contends that his knees have been rehabilitated, and he is now fit for
military service. He submits statements from two physicians who report that his knee
condition is no longer symptomatic, and that he should be reconsidered for military service.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board concludes
that Petitioner should have been discharged by reason of erroneous enlistment. As there is
no evidence that he had any performance problems or disciplinary infractions during his
period of service, it further concludes that the assignment of the stigmatizing reenlistment
code of RE-4 is unwarranted.

In view of the foregoing, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the
following corrective action.

RECOMMENDATION:

a. That Petitioner ’s naval record be corrected to show that on 18 December 1998, he
RE-

was discharged by reason of erroneous enlistment, and assigned a reenlistment code of 
3E.

b. That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner ’s naval record.

4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board ’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete
record of the Board ’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.

ROBERT D. ZSALMAN
Recorder

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures
of the Board for correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section
723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the
foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by
the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
