Docket No:  5493-03 
15 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 13 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. 

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 you enlisted in the Navy on 5 October 1998. 
On 6 October 1998 you submitted to an accession urinalysis that 
tested positive for marijuana.  On 16 October 1999 the commanding 
officer directed your separation.  Subsequently, on 20 October 
1998 you received an entry level separation by  reason of 
erroneous enlistment due to drug abuse.  At  that time, you were 
assigned a reenlistment code of RE-4. 

The Board noted that applicable regulations require the 
assignment of an RE-4  reenlistment code to individuals who are 
separated due to erroneous enlistment based on preservice use of 
drugs.  The Boakd thus concluded that there is no error or 
injustice in your reenlistment code.  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 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 
existence of probable 

on the applicant to demonstrate the 
material error or injustice. 

Sincerely,
