DD Form 149
Subject’s naval record

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner,
filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that his naval record be corrected to
show that he received a “medical discharge”, vice a discharge by reason of a personality
disorder.

Novello reviewed
2. The Board, consisting of Ms. Davies and Messrs. Bishop and 
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 4 October 2001 and, pursuant to its
regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the
enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies..

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations
of error and injustice finds as follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies

available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. Enclosure (1) was filed in a timely manner.

C.

Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 26 February 1999. On 20 August 1999, he was

diagnosed as suffering from an adjustment disorder, and recommended for expeditious
administrative separation. He was discharged on 10 September 1999, by reason of a
personality disorder. On 13 April 2000, the Department of Veterans Affairs denied his
request for service connection for an acute psychosis, tension headaches and otitis media.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board concludes
that Petitioner ’s discharge by reason of a personality disorder was improper, because he had
been diagnosed as suffering from an adjustment disorder, rather than a personality disorder.
The Board also concludes that although it is clear that Petitioner unsuitable for service
because of the effects of the adjustment disorder, he was not unfit to perform the duties of
his rate by reason of physical disability which was incurred in or aggravated by his naval
service.

In view of the foregoing, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the
following corrective action.

RECOMMENDATION:

a. That Petitioner ’s naval record be corrected to show that on 10 September 1999, he

was discharged by reason of physical or mental condition, not a disability, interfering with
the performance of duty.

b. That so much of his application as exceeds the foregoing be denied.

c. That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner

’s naval record.

4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board ’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete
record of the Board ’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.
