WMP 
Docket No:  8490-02 
23 April 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 23 April 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, 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 7 November 2000 
for four years after about five months of prior active service. 
Your record reflects that you served without incident until 10 
April 2001, when you requested a hardship discharge due to your 
inability to provide for the care of your dependent children. 

On 18 April 2001, your commanding officer, after a thorough 
review of your request, approved your requested hardship 
discharge.  Accordingly, on 23 April 2001 you received an 
honorable discharge by reason of hardship, and were assigned an 
RE-3H reenlistment code. 

~egulations authorize the assignment of either an RE-3H or an 
RE-4 reenlistment code to an individual separated by reason of 
hardship.  Since you were assigned an RE-3H code, the most 

favorable reenlistment code authorized, it concluded that the 
reenlistment code was proper and no change is warranted. 
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
