Docket No:  8697-01 
!3  May 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 CorrectLon of Naval 
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your 
application on 8 May 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. 

The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 27 December 
1999 for four years at age 18 as an SR  (E-1).  On 2 February 
2000, you were diagnosed with an antisocial personality 
disorder.  In his report the psychologist noted fighting, 
irritability and acting out.  You also had anger management 
issues as evidenced by banging your head against the wall.  An 
entry level separation was strongly recommended. 

On 8 February 2000 you were notified that separation action was 
being  initiated by reason of defective enlistment and induction 
due to erroneous enlistment as evidenced by the diagnosed 
antisocial personality disorder.  You were advised of and waived 
all of your procedural rights, with the exception of obtaining 
copies of documents that were being forwarded to the separation 
authority supporting the basis for the proposed separation.  On 

9 February 2000, you separation was approved and on 18 February 
2000 you received an entry level separation by  reason of 
erroneous entry.  At that time, you were assigned an RE-4 
reenlistment code. 

Regulations authorize the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment 
code to an individual separated by reason of erroneous 
enlistment.  The Board  found no evidence that the diagnosis of 
antisocial personality disorder was incorrect.  Given the 
apparent severity of this personality disorder, and your failure 
to complete recruit training, the Board concluded that the 
assigned reenlistment code was proper and no change is 
warranted.  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
