JRE
Docket No: 8463-00
16 October 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 4 October 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 served on active duty in the Navy from 30 December 1966 to 6
May 1971, when you were discharged by reason of unsuitability, based on a diagnosed
personality disorder. The available records do not demonstrate that you suffered from post
traumatic stress disorder at that time, or more importantly, that you were unfit to perform
the duties of your office, grade, rank or rating by reason of physical disability. The belated
determination of the Department of Veterans Affairs that you suffer from post traumatic
stress disorder at this time appears to be the product of your persistence in seeking that
determination, rather than an accurate assessment of your mental health status. 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
