Docket No: 01288-03- 
31 July 2003 

 his 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 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 23 May 2000 at 
age 18.  On 19 April 2001, you were counseled about drug and 
alcohol abuse and directed to abstain from such abuse and to 
complete alcohol and drug abuse treatment. 

On 17 May 2001 you were notified of administrative separation 
processing because of drug rehabilitation failure.  On that same 
day, you signed a service record page acknowledging the 
assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code.  Although the documents 
concerning your administrative separation processing are not in 
the record, the Board presumed that you were properly processed 
for separation.  The record clearly shows that on 18 May 2001, 
you received an honorable discharge by reason of drug 
rehabilitation failure because of your failure to comply with 
treatment rules following two weeks in the partial 
hospitalization treatment program. 

Applicable regulations require the assignment of an RE-4 
reenlistment code when an individual is discharged due to drug 
or alcohol rehabilitation failure.  Accordingly, given the 
reason for your separation and your failure to comply with 

alcohol and drug treatment rules, 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, 

Executive Di
