BOARD  FOR  C O R R E C T I O N   OF  NAVAL  RECORDS

W A S H I N G T O N  DC  20370-5100 

CRS 
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.
