Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action.
In this regard, the Board notes Petitioner's youth and

That Petitioner's naval record be corrected by changing

the RE-4 reenlistment code, assigned on 7 December 1999, to
