Docket No: 6622-01
30 August 2001
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. You requested that your
reenlistment code of RE-4 (not eligible for reenlistment without prior approval of the Chief
of Naval Personnel) be changed. You contend that you were “told to lie on [your]
paperwork” and that this was your choice, but you were told it was the only way you could
enlist. You provided a psychological assessment dated 17 June 2000, which indicated you
were then free from psychiatric problems.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 29 August 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. In this connection, the Board found your naval record shows that you entered
active duty on 15 December 1998; that on 28 December 1998, the recruit mental health staff
diagnosed you with an adjustment disorder with depressed mood and suicidal ideation; that
you were discharged on 6 January 1999 by reason of erroneous entry as evidenced by a
disqualifying psychiatric condition; and that you had an entry level separation
meaning that you were discharged within 180 days of your entry on active duty.
your ELS and evidence of your suicidal ideation, notwithstanding the statement in your
psychological assessment that you said you were suicidal to be discharged, they found the
RE-4 code was properly assigned. The assessment of 17 June 2000 did not persuade them
that you were incorrectly diagnosed by the recruit mental health staff. In view of the above,
your application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.
In light of
(EIS),
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
