REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD

(a) 10 U.S.C. 1552

(1) DD Form 149
(2) Subject’s naval record

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner,
filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that her naval record be corrected to
show that she was assigned a more favorable reentry code.

2. The Board, consisting of Mses.
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 5 September 2003 and, pursuant to its
regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the

reviewed

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations
of error and injustice finds as follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies

available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. Enclosure (1) was filed in a timely manner.

c. Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 2 September 1998, and served until 6 November

1998, when she was discharged by reason of her failure to meet medical/physical
procurement standards because of retinitis and a cataract. She was assigned a reentry code of
RE-4. According to her private physician, the cataract is minimal and not visually
significant.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board concludes that as
there is no indication in the available records that Petitioner committed any acts of misconduct
during her enlistment, it would be in the interest of justice to remove the stigma often
associated with an RE-4 reentry code, and assign her a code of RE-3E.

RECOMMENDATION:

a. That Petitioner ’s naval record be corrected to show that she was assigned a reentry
code of RE-3E on 6 November 1998, in place of the RE-4 code she actually received on that
date.

b. That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner

’s naval record.

4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board ’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete
record of the Board ’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.

ROBERT D. ZSALMAN
Recorder

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of
the Board for correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e))
and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing
corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board
on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
