BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

JREZ
Docket No: 7694-00
4 April 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 29 March  
200 1. 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 regard, the Board noted that DOD Directive 6130.5, which contains the
physical standards for enlistment in the armed forces, provides that primary, secondary or
pre-glaucoma, as evidenced by intraocular pressure 

(Hg), or
higher, are disqualifying for military service. You were discharged after completing 2
IOPs were measured at 23 and 26mm Hg. The
months and 26 days of service because your 
fact that you had lower IOP readings following your discharge does not demonstrate that the
higher readings obtained while you were in the Navy are erroneous. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.

(IOP) of 2 lmm of mercury 

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
