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 
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.

. Your allegations of error and injustice were

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 underwent a pre-enlistment physical examination on 5 February
1999. You completed a Report of Medical History on that date, in which you denied having
a history of psychiatric complaints, depression or nervous trouble of any sort. You enlisted
in the Navy on 2 March 1999. You were referred to a Recruit Evaluation Unit on 15 March
1999, because you had been lashing out uncontrollably at other recruits, and claimed you
were depressed. You stated that you had a history of emotional, physical and sexual abuse,
and that you had been sad all of your life, and had seen a mental health provider at age 11
for emotional abuse. You stated that your depression worsened at age 16, and that there had
been a significant change in your sleep patter during the six weeks before you entered on
active duty. You were given a diagnoses of Depressive Disorder, not otherwise specified,
existed prior to enlistment, and recommended for discharge because of that condition. You
were discharged with an entry level separation on 24 March 1999.

The Board was not persuaded that your discharge was erroneous, or that you are medically
qualified or suitable for military service.

In addition, it does not appear that you would have

been permitted to enlist in 1999 had you not concealed your history of psychiatric
complaints. 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
