his is in reference to your application for corr~ction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 310 of the
United States Code section 1552.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction cf Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 30 April 2003. 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 or 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 27 August
1993 after more than three years of prior naval service. On 1
February 1994 you received a psychological evaluation due to a
recent suicidal statement and were diagnosed with an
occupational problem, and dependent and immature personality
traits. However, you were found fit for duty anfi returned to
your unit .
On 18 February 1994 you were again received a psychological
evaluation due to a depressed mood after your request for early
separation was disapproved. Your were diagnosed with an
adjustment disorder with depressed mood, and a severe immature
and dependent personality disorder. You were recommended for
immediate administrative separation processing due to fact that
you posed a continuing risk to harm yourself or others if
retained.
On 24 February 1994 you were notified that separation action was
being initiated for the convenience of the government due to
your diagnosed personality disorder. You were advised of and
waived all of your procedural rights with the exception of
obtaining copies of documents that supported the basis for
separation. On 9 March 1994 you were honorably discharged and
assigned an RE-3G reenlistment code.
Regulations state that an individual will normally receive an
entry level separation during the first 180 days of continuous
active military service or the first 180 days after a service
break of more than 92 days of active service. Your records
reflect that you were continuously on active duty from 26 July
1990 until your discharge on 9 March 1994 without any breaks in
service. Therefore, you were not eligible for an entry level
separation.
Regulations authorize the assignment of an RE-4 or RE-3G
reenlistment code to an individual separated by reason of
personality disorder. You received an RE-3G reenlistment code,
which is the most favorable code that can be assigned to
individuals who are separated by reason of a diagnosed
personality disorder. Therefore, the reenlistment code was
properly assigned 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 I h d ~ c l l-ezonslder its decision upon submission of new a d
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,

Given the applicant’s diagnosed adjustment disorder and the provisions of the SPD Handbook, the Coast Guard should have assigned her the JFV separation code for having a condition that precludes...
