Docket No: 7172-01
28 December 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.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 13 December 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
naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.
,all material submitted in support thereof, your
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.
#7955”. You were hospitalized on 6 December
#3203”. That diagnosis was confirmed by a board of medical survey
The Board found that you were inducted into the Marine Corps on 19 September 1950. You
were admitted to the sick list on 27 November 1951 with a provisional diagnosis of
“Diagnosis Undetermined (anxiety reaction)
1951, and after a period of observation and treatment, your diagnosis was changed to
“Inadequate Personality
which met on 12 March 1952. That board also determined that your condition existed prior
to your entry in the Marine Corps, and that it was not aggravated by your service.
The
board’s report indicates that you had a preexisting history of crying episodes, palpitations,
anxiety and enuresis. You were described as an “extremely immature, asthenic, inadequate
appearing lad ”. You reported that you had experienced night terrors and stuttered as a child,
and that you had been enuretic since the age of 12, with incontinence when excited or under
pressure. You described an emotionally dependent relationship with your mother. You
indicated that you had worked at a variety of jobs after quitting school during the eighth
grade, and became increasingly nervous until you were inducted into the Marine Corps. The
board of medical survey determined that you were unsuitable for service, and recommended
that you be discharged without entitlement to disability benefits administered by the
Department of the Navy. You were discharged for the convenience of the government on 19
May 1952, in accordance with the approved findings of the board of medical survey.
The Board was not persuaded that the diagnosis made by the board of medical survey in your
case is erroneous or unjust, that a formal diagnosis of anxiety reaction be added to your
record, or that you were unfit by reason of a physical disability which was incurred in or
aggravated by your service in the Marine Corps.
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
