DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
JRE
Docket No: 5983-02
28 February 2003
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 21
February 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 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 served on active duty in the Navy from 26
August 1986 to 16 December 1992, when you were discharged by reason of
physical disability, with entitlement to severance pay, due to
diabetes mellitus. Following your discharge, the Department of
Veterans Affairs awarded you a 20% rating for diabetes. Although there
are several entries in your naval record concerning mild skin
conditions, such as a cyst and a nevus, there is no indication that
you were unfit for duty because of the effects of a skin condition. As
the Department of the Navy is permitted to rate only those conditions
which render a service member unfit for duty, the Board was unable to
recommend any corrective action in your case. 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
