This is in reference to your application for c o r ~ e tion of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 1 of the United
States Code section 1552.
1
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction
Records, sitting in executive session, considered
application on 29 April 2003. Your allegations
injustice were reviewed in accordance with
regulations and procedures applicable to
Board. Documentary material considered
your application, together with all
thereof, your naval record and
and policies.
After careful and conscientious
record, the Board found that the evidence
insufficient to establish the existence of
error or injustice.
You reenlisted in the Marine Corps on 13 November h992 for four
years. On 2 February 1996 you were promoted to st,%££ sergeant.
Subsequently you extended your enlistment and were ordered to
attend Recruiter School. A counseling entry, dated 16 July 1997,
states that you were being disenrolled from that school because
you did not meet the financial and family stabili requirements.
The counseling entry points out that in February 97 YOU were
given an opportunity to resolve your problems and your orders
were modified to give you another chance to comple.:e the course.
In connection with the disenrollment, you were givm an adverse
fitness report. Subsequently, your enlistment was extended on
three additional occasions to allow processing of s reenlistment
request and to afford you an apportunity for trans-tion to
civilian life. Since you were disqualified for assignment to
recruiting duty, your request for reenlistment was denied. You
were honorably discharged with separation pay on 12 December
1997. At that time, you had completed 12 years, 8 months and 4
days of active service. The reenlistment code a~e..gned was an
RE-3C.
Regulations allow for the assignment of an RE-3C r
code when Headquarters Marine Corps believes that a restrictive
reenlistment code is required and no other reenlistment code fits
the circumstances of the case. It is clear that when you were
disenrolled from Recruiter School, that you became noncompetitive
for further promotion and that your reenlistment was in jeopardy.
The Board concluded that the denial of your reenlistment and the
assignment of the RE-3C reenlistment code is supported by the
record and no abuse of discretion occurred.
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 .I

Sincerely,
W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 30 April 2003. At that time, you were assigned a reenlistment code of RE-4. The Board did not consider whether the characterization of service or reason for your separation should be changed, since you did not ask for such consideration and you have not exhausted your administrative remedy by applying to the Naval Discharge and Review Board (NDRB).

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 18 August 1999. The career planner noted that although you were recommended for reenlistment in June 1991 by your previous CO, you were ineligible due to the four NJPs and should receive an RE-3C reenlistment code. The reenlistment code was assigned by the CO, not by the career planner.
NAVY | BCNR | CY2001 | 00579-01
You requested that your reenlistment code be changed from "RE-3" to "RE-1" (the Marine Corps has neither code). It is noted that the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) has changed your reenlistment code to RE-3C (when directed by CMC or when not eligible and disqualifying factor is not covered by any other code). A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 11 April 2002.

Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this Board.

Absent such evidence, the Board concluded that the reason for discharge and separation code were appropriate.
