DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-51 00

 JRE
 Docket No. 00440-06
22 September 2006





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 14 September 2006. 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 16 June 2005. You were admitted to the in-patient psychiatric unit of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital on 18 July 2995, because you were considered to be delusional and grandiose. While hospitalized, you disclosed a previously concealed history of alcohol and steroid abuse and learning disorders. Upon discharge from the VA hospital, you were given the following diagnoses: psychosis, not otherwise specified, rule/out bipolar disorder, manic, existed prior to enlistment( EPTE), not service aggravated (NSA); reading disorder, EPTE, NSA; spelling disorder, EPTE, NSA; and personality disorder, not otherwise specified, with narcissistic and borderline behavior patterns, severe, EPTE, NSA. You were discharged from the Navy on 2 August 2005, by reason of erroneous enlistment. You were assigned a reentry code of RE-4, to indicate that you were not eligible or recommended for reenlistment.




The Board carefully considered your contention and supporting evidence to the effect that you did not suffer from a personality disorder or a psychotic disorder, but found that information insufficient to warrant any corrective action in your case. In this regard, the Board was not persuaded that the diagnoses made in your case are erroneous, that you should have been retained on active duty, or that you are qualified and suitable for military service, given your disqualifying medical history and the eccentric behavior you displayed while serving on active duty. 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 on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,


W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
