DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
                  TJR
                                                                                 Docket No: 3893-07
                                                                                 5 March 2008



This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 March 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy on 23 April 1991 at age 18. on 24 April 1991 you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation due to two instances of pre- service suicide ideation, On 26 April 1991, after undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, you were diagnosed with a depressed adjustment disorder and dependent traits. You were recommended for an administrative separation due to your pre- serve suicide attempts and nonadaptability, On 30 April 1991 you were reevaluated because your suicide ideation had increased and you were deemed a risk of suicide gestures if retained in the Navy. You were again strongly recommended for an administrative separation.
Subsequently, you were administratively processed for separation. The discharge authority directed an uncharacterjzed entry level separation by reason of performance and conduct as evidenced by failure to adapt to the naval environment. At this time you were not recommended for retention or reenlistment.







The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, post service conduct, and the passage of time. It also considered your assertion that your characterization of service would be changed to honorable six months after your separation. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in the narrative reason for separation, reenlistment code, or characterization of service because of your failure to complete basic training due to your lack of effort to adapt to a military environment and the diagnosed adjustment disorder. Further, an RE-4 reenlistment code is authorized and normally assigned when a Sailor is separated by reason of performance and conduct. Finally, no discharge is automatically upgraded due solely to the passage of time or an individual’s good post service conduct. 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
