Docket No:  00787-03 
24 July 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 16 July 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 2 October 2002 
at age 31.  On 5 November 2002 you were diagnosed with a 
personality disorder with antisocial, paranoid, and borderline 
features as well as alcohol dependency and recommended for 
administrative separation. 

On 12 November 2002, you were notified 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 13 November 2002 the commanding officer approved 
you separation and, on 19 November 2002, you were discharged with 
an entry level separation by reason of erroneous enlistment 
because of the diagnosed alcohol abuse.  At that time, you were 
assigned a reenlistment code of RE-4. 

Applicable regulations require the assignment of an RE-4 
reenlistment code when an individual is discharged by reason of 
erroneous enlistment due to alcohol abuse.  Given the diagnosed 
alcohol dependency and personality disorder, 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,
