DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
                                             2 NAVY ANNEX
          WASHINGTON DC 20370-5 00


                                                               CRS
                                                      Docket No: 2999-06
                                                                                           5 October 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 4 October 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.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 12 January 2006. Your record reflects that on 16 March 2006 you received nonjudicial punishment for dereliction of duty.
Although your record does not contain the separation documents, it appears that your commanding officer recommended that you be separated with an entry level separation by reason of misconduct due to commission of a serious offense and, after review by the discharge authority, the recommendation for separation was approved. The record clearly shows that on 31 March 2006 you received an entry level separation by reason of misconduct. At that time, you were assigned a reenlistment code of RE—4.
Applicable regulations require the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code when an individual is discharged due to misconduct. Since you have been treated no differently than others in your situation, the Board could not find an error or injustice in the assignment of your reenlistment code. Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.
The Board did not consider whether your reason for separation should be changed, since you did not ask for such action and have not exhausted your administrative remedy by applying to the Naval Discharge Review Board (NDRB). You may apply to NDRB by
                   submitting the attached DD Form 293

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
