Docket No:  0705-02 
6 June 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 June 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 24 May 2000 for 
four years at age 23.  On 8 June 2000, you were referred to the 
recruit mental health unit because you stated that you had 
scratched your wrist with scissors two days ago and had thought 
of suicide every night.  You were diagnosed with a borderline 
personality disorder and strongly recommended for an entry level 
separation. 

On 12 June 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 
personality disorder.  You were advised of and waived all of 
your procedural rights.  On 12 June 2000, separation was 
approved and on 20 June 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 
personality disorder was incorrect.  Given the apparent severity 
of this diagnosis, 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
