Docket No: 8468-02
15 October 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 10 September 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 enlisted in the Navy on 24 June 2002. A
psychiatric evaluation, conducted on 7 August 2002, diagnosed you
with a personality disorder.. The evaluation also noted that you
had expressed thoughts of throwing yourself in front of a bus.
On 15 August 2002 you received an entry level separation by
reason of erroneous enlistment. At that time, you were assigned
a reenlistment code of RE-4.
The Board noted that an RE-4 reenlistment code is authorized by
regulatory guidance and is often assigned to an individual
separated by reason of erroneous enlistment due to a mental
disorder. Given the existence of such a disorder, and your
suicidal thoughts, the Board concluded that there is no error or
injustice in your reenlistment code. ~ccordingly, 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.
