Docket No: 
15 November 2001

7576-01

.

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 1 November 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.

The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 21 August 1998. Shortly thereafter, you
were referred to a recruit evaluation unit because you reported to be feeling overwhelmed by
memories of childhood physical and emotional abuse. You also disclosed that you had used
marijuana “almost daily” for one year prior to enlisting. You were discharged from the
Navy on 8 September 1998 by reason of erroneous entry, because of your history of post
traumatic stress disorder. You were assigned a reenlistment code of RE-4, as authorized by
governing directives.

The contention that you have no current symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder was
carefully considered, but found insufficient to demonstrate that your reenlistment code is
unjust. The Board concluded that in view of your extensive history of marijuana abuse,
which you failed to disclose when you underwent your pre-enlistment physical examination,
you are not suitable for military service. 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
