2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SJN
Docket No: 04632-06
13 November 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 8 November 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.

You enlisted in the Navy on 22 February 2005 at age 30. On 15 December 2005 a psychological evaluation diagnosed you with a borderline personality disorder. You were processed for separation by reason of convenience of the government due to the diagnosed personality disorder. The record shows you waived the right to have your case reviewed by higher authority..

On 20 December 2005 the commanding officer forwarded your case to the Commander, Navy Personnel Command noting that during the psychiatric evaluation you revealed a history of prior mental problems, substance abuse, self destructive behavior, and chronic suicidal ideation. Further, the evaluation stated that you were a risk to yourself in the Navy environment, and an ongoing threat to the integrity of the command. You were discharged with an uncharacterized entry-level separation on 28 December 2005. At that time, you were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.


The Board considered the documentation you submitted in support of your application. However, applicable regulations authorize the assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code to individuals who are separated due to a diagnosed personality disorder. •The Board found that you were diagnosed with such a disorder and revealed a history of prior mental and substance abuse problems, and self destructive behavior and chronic suicidal ideation. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that there is no error or injustice in your reenlistment code and given the diagnosed personality disorder. 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 to upgrade your discharge or change the reason for separation because you 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
