Docket No: 10396-02
12 May 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 30 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 6 June 2000 at
age 18. On 12 July 2000 you were diagnosed with a depressive
disorder, and recommended for discharge. In this regard, the
examining psychologist noted a persistently depressed mood,
insomnia and fatigue, feelings of guilt and diminished
concentration.
On 26 July 2000, you were advised of administrative separation
processing and waived all your procedural rights. On 27 July
2000, the commanding officer approved your separation and on 1
August 2000, you were so discharged by reason of convenience of
the government due to the diagnosed depressive disorder. 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 a
depressive disorder. Given the diagnosed depressive disorder
and its manifestations, the Board concluded that the RE-4
reenlistment code was properly and appropriately 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 P F E I F F E R
Executive Director
