REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD

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 her naval record be corrected to
show that she does not suffer from a personality disorder.
2. The Board, consisting of Ms. Nofziger and Messrs. Chapman and Grover, reviewed
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 15 November 2002 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. Although enclosure (1) was not filed in a timely manner, the Board concluded that it
would be in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations, and consider the
application on the merits..
Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 25 March 1996. She was evaluated by a clinical
psychologist on 22 July 1996, and later underwent psychological testing. In a letter dated 1
August 1996, the psychologist indicated that her diagnosis appeared to be a mood disorder
separated as soon as
with psychotic features. He recommended that she be administratively
possible, noting that she was psychologically decompensating, and that she had refused to take
medication. On 19 August 1996, the separation authority directed her discharge for the
convenience of the government due to the mood disorder, with a entry level separation. She
was discharged on 3 September 1996. Her DD Form 214 indicates she was discharged by
reason of a personality disorder.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of
an injustice warranting corrective action. In this regard, it notes that a mood disorder with
psychotic features is an Axis I mental disorder, and not a personality disorder; therefore,
there was no basis for separating her by reason of a personality disorder. As it is clear that
her separation from the service was warranted, and as there is no indication in the available
records that she unfit for duty because of a condition incurred in or aggravated by her brief
period service, it would be in the interest of justice to correct her record to show that she was
discharged for the best interest of the service.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner ’s naval record be corrected to show that she was discharged from the
vice by reason of a personality

service,
b. That any and all references to a personality disorder be deleted from her record.
c. That any material or entries inconsistent with or relating to the Board ’s
recommendation be corrected, removed or completely expunged from Petitioner ’s record and
that no such entries or material be added to the record in the future.
d. That any material directed to be removed from Petitioner ’s naval record
to the Board, together with a copy of this Report of Proceedings, for retention in a
confidential file maintained for such purpose, with no cross reference being made a part of
Petitioner’s naval record.
