Docket No: 751-03
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 28 May 2002. A
psychiatric evaluation, conducted on 4 June 2002, diagnosed you
with a bipolar disorder and concluded that your retention in the
Navy would pose a significant risk of injury to yourself and
others. On 28 June 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 since
retention would have posed a threat to yourself and others, the
Board concluded that there is no error or injustice in your
reenlistment code. Accordingly, your application has been
denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be
furnished upon request.
It is r ~ g r e t + ~ d
t h a t the circumstance^ ef your caso aro 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.
