BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
' JRE
Docket No. 02616-07
18 April 2008
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 10 April 2008. 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 8 May 1998.
On 3 May 1999, a Navy psychiatrist diagnosed you with a paranoid
personality disorder, and determined that you did not suffer
from a major mental illness at that time. The psychiatrist
recommended that you be expeditiously discharged from the Navy
because there was a continuing threat of harm to yourself or
others while you remained on active duty. You were honorably
discharged by reason of the personality disorder on 8 June 1999.
The Board concluded that your being diagnosed as suffering from
a major mental disorder several years after you were discharged
from the Navy does not demonstrate that you suffered from that
condition on 8 June 1999, or that you were unfit for service by
reason of physical disability that was incurred in or aggravated
by your naval service. As noted above, you were found to be
free of a major mental disorder when evaluated during May 1999.
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon
= Tequest .
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,
LQoa&
W. DEAN PFEIF .
