BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
FC
Docket No: 08205-
02
27 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 20
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.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 13 October 1994 at age
18. On 14 October 1994 you were evaluated for substance abuse, found to
be dependent on amphetamines, and recommended for discharge. On 18
October 1994, you were advised of administrative separation processing
and waived all your procedural rights. On 19 October 1994, the
commanding officer approved your separation and on 24 October 1994 your
enlistment was voided. At that time, you were assigned a reenlistment
code of RE-4.
Applicable regulations require the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment
code when an individual’s enlistment is voided due to drug dependence.
Given your admission of amphetamine use and the diagnosis of drug
dependency, the Board concluded that the RE-4 reenlistment code was
properly assigned.
Accordingly, your request 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
