Docket No: 10471-02
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 3 September 1998
at age 18. On 12 August 1999 you were diagnosed as having a
personality disorder with borderline features. The psychologist
recommended discharge because it was thought that you would be a
continued danger to yourself and others if retained in the
service. In this regard, the examining psychologist noted that
you had two pre-service suicidal gestures and a history of
depression.
On 10 September 1999 you were advised of administrative
separation processing and waived all your procedural rights
except the right to obtain copies of documents forwarded to the
separation authority supporting the basis for the separation.
On 16 September 1999, the commanding officer approved your
separation and on 28 October 1999 you received a general
discharge by reason of convenience of the government due to the
diagnosed personality 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
personality disorder. Given the diagnosed personality disorder
with borderline features, two prior suicidal gestures and
depression, 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.
The Board did not consider whether the characterization of
service or reason for your separation should be changed, since
you did not ask for such consideration and you have not
exhausted your administrative remedy by applying to the Naval
Discharge Review Board (NDRB). You may apply to NDRB by
submitting the attached DD Form 293.
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
