TJR 
Docket No:  6647-01 
12 March 2002 

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 5 March 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient 
to establish the existence of probable material error or 
injustice. 

The Board found you first enlisted in the Marine Corps on 1 
October 1994.  On 30 November 1994 you received an honorable 
entry level separation by reason of physical disability as 
evidenced by enuresis, and were assigned an RE-3P reenlistment 
cade . 
The Board found you enlisted in the Navy on 28 February 2001 at 
the age of 25.  Your record reflects that on 27 April 2001, after 
undergoing a psychiatric evaluation due to your unwillingness to 
follow orders or regulations, you were diagnosed with a passive 
aggressive personality disorder which existed prior to your 
enlistment.  As a result of the foregoing diagnosis, you were 
recommended for an administrative separation. 

Subsequently, you were processed for an administrative separation 
by reason of erroneous entry due to the diagnosed personality 
disorder.  The discharge authority directed an uncharacterized 
entry level separation by reason of erroneous entry, and on 9 May 
2001, you were so discharged from the Navy and assigned.an RE-4 
r c c n l i s t m o n t   code. 

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, 
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as 
your youth and immaturity, and prior service in the Marine Corps. 
The Board also considered your conterition that you would have 
completed boot camp if it were not for the fact that you had 
pneumonia, which impaired your ability to serve.  However, the 
Board concluded these factors and contention were not sufficient 
to warrant a change in your RE-4  reenlistment code.  Such a code 
is authorized when individuals are separated by reason of 
erroneous entry.  The Board concluded that the diagnosed 
personality disorder and the problems you were having in recruit 
training were sufficient to support the assignment of an RE-4 
reenlistment code.  Given all the circumstances of your case, the 
Board concluded the assigned reenlistment code was proper and no 
change is warranted.  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
