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 although you were hospitalized for
treatment of depression during the year before your discharge
from the Marine Corps, your symptoms had resolved as of 26
February 1990, when you underwent a pre-separation physical
examination.
You were no longer taking any medication for
depression at that time,
and the physician who conducted the
examination concluded that your depression had resolved, and

that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded you a
number of disability ratings effective the day following your
discharge from the Marine Corps was not considered probative of
the existence of error or injustice in your military record,
