DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100


FC
Docket No: 02231-03
29 August 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 27 August 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 19 April 1988 at age 19. On 21 April 1988, you indicated to your company commander that you wanted to quit the Navy. On 26 April 1988, the performance remarks sheet at recruit training center (RTC) indicated that you had gear adrift. On 27 April 1988, the performance remarks sheet indicated that you did not have any of your issued items stenciled.

On 29 April 1988, you were diagnosed with a moderate to severe adjustment disorder manifested by an anxious mood. The attending psychologist noted that you had previous suicidal thoughts and admitted that you might attempt suicide in the future if retained in the Navy. The attending psychologist concluded that these problems would affect your ability to perform, and recommended an entry-level separation.

On 6 May 1988, you were advised of administrative separation processing, and elected to make a statement and to obtain copies of documents supporting the basis for the proposed separation. On 12 May 1988, the commanding officer approved your separation and on 17 May 1988, you were discharged with an entry-level








separation by reason of entry-level performance and conduct. 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 due to entry-level personality and conduct. Given your desire to quit, inability to adapt to the military, the diagnosed adjustment disorder, and your suicidal ideations, 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 PFEIFFER
                                                               Executive Director
