Docket No:
10194—02
28 April 2003
~uUUImummmm..~
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, your naval record and applicable statutes,
regulations and policies.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 17 March 1997
at age 18. On 26 March 2003 you were diagnosed with a psychosis
and recommended for administrative separation. On that same day,
you were advised of administrative separation processing and
waived all of your procedural rights except the right to obtain
copies of documents forwarded to the separation authority
supporting the basis for the proposed separation. On 27 March
1997, the commanding officer approved your separation and on 1
April 1997, you were discharged with an entry-level separation
by reason of erroneous enlistment due to the diagnosis of
psychosis. At that time, you were assigned a reenlistment code
of RE-4.
Applicable regulations authorize the assignment of an RE-4
reenlistment code when an individual is discharged due to an
erroneous enlistment. Given the severity of your mental problem,
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
