BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TJIR
Docket No: 8401-06
13 July 2007
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 10 July 2007. 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 16 April 1998 at age 19 and served
without disciplinary incident.
On 5 May 1998, as a result of difficulty adjusting to military
life, you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation. You
stated, in part, that you just wanted to go home. The
psychiatric report stated that you were feeling depressed and had
symptoms of a depressed mood, sleep disturbance, anhedonia,
appetite disturbance, and feelings of hopelessness. It also
stated that there was only a slight risk that you would harm
yourself or others. Subsequently, you were diagnosed with a
dysthymia disorder and a conduct disorder, both of which existed
prior to your enlistment. At that time you were recommended for
an administrative separation due to the foregoing disqualifying
psychiatric conditions.
On 6 May 1998 you were notified of pending administrative
separation action by reason of erroneous enlistment due to the
diagnosed dysthymia and conduct disorders. You waived your right
to consult with legal counsel and to submit a statement in
rebuttal to the discharge action. On 7 May 1998 the discharge
authority directed an uncharacterized entry level separation by
reason of erroneous entry, and on 12 May 1998 you were so
separated from the Navy and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment
code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and assertion that your record incorrectly states that
you were unable to adapt to military life. It also considered
the correspondence from the Ross County Veterans Commission
regarding your desire to reenlist. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant a change
in the reenlistment code because of the diagnosed dysthymia and
conduct disorders. Further, an RE-4 reenlistment code is
authorized when a Sailor is separated by reason of erroneous
entry due to psychological or psychiatric problem and is often
assigned under such circumstances, especially when the problems
result in a failure to complete recruit training. 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,
