Docket No:  7879-01 
12 March 2002 

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 5 March 2002.  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. 

You enlisted in the Navy on 9 June 1999 at age 17.  On 28 June 
1999 you were diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder. 
You told the psychologist that you had cut your wrist at age 15 
and you were having recurrent suicidal ideations.  Separation 
from the Navy was recommended because of the disqualifying 
psychiatric condition. 

Based on the psychologistvs recommendation you were processed for 
an administrative separation.  In connection with this 
processing, you elected to waive your procedural rights. 
Subsequently, the separation authority directed an entry level 
separation and you were so separated on 23 June 1999.  At that 
time you were not recommended for reenlistment and were assigned 
an RE-4 reenlistment code. 

You state in your application that you have matured and become a 
responsible citizen since your service in the Navy.  You desire a 
change in the reenlistment code so that you can reenlist in the 
Navy. 

Regulations allow for the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code 

in most instances when an individual fails to complete Navy 
recruit training.  Such a code is normally assigned when there is 
a diagnosis of a disqualifying psychiatric condition, especially 
when there is a history which suggests that an individual may be 
at risk to harm himself or others.  Since you have been treated 
no differently than others in your situation, the Board could not 
find an error or injustice in the assignment of the RE-4 
reenlistment code. 

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 P F E I F F E R  
Executive Director
