Docket No.  03148-03

This is in reference to your application for corr ction of your 
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title  0  of the 
United States Code, section 1552. 

t 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction  ) f   Naval 
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your 
application on 1 May 2003.  Your allegations of error and 
injustice were reviewed in accordance with admini.;trative 
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this 
Board.  Documentary material considered by the Bo7ird consisted 
of your application, together with all material sitbmitted in 
support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, 
regulations and policies. 

After careful and conscientious consideration or rne entire 
record, the Board found that the evidence submittfy!d was 
insufficient to establish the existence of probab.;~ material 
error or injustice. 

The Board found that you served in the Navy from !!  to 29 March 
2000, when you were discharged by reason of failwe to meet 
medical/physical procurement standards because of bilateral 
tarsalcalcaneal consolidation, with arthritic char;ges.  That 
condition caused foot pain and rendered you incapable of 
completing military training.  You were assigned c  reenlistment 
code of RE-4, as required by governing directives 

The Board rejected your unsubstantiated contentioL to the effect 
that the foot pain that resulted in your discharge was caused by 

improperly sized boots.  The fact that the condition is no 
!-nyer  symp+nm3tic was considered insufficient to demonstrate 
that you discharge was erroneous.  Although the Bdard 
appreciates your strong desire to serve your country, it was not 
persuaded that it should take any action that wou-Ld facilitate 
your reentry into the Armed Forces.  Accordingly, your 
application 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 ca.;e are such 
that favorable action cannot be taken.  You are e:ltitled 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 ke.?p in mind that 
a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records. 
Consequently, when applying for a correction of ail  official 
naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the 
existence of probable material error or injustice 

Sincerely, 

W.  DEAN PFEIFFI 
Executive Direr
