2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 Docket No: 04489-07
 26 February 2008

From:    Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records
To:      Secretary of the Navy
Subj


Ref :     (a) 10 U.S.C. 1552
End:     (1) DD Form 149 with attachments
         (2) Case Summary
 (3)      Subject’s naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions o f reference (a), Petitioner . former en l isted member of the Navy, filed enclosure (1) with the Board requesting a change in his RE-4 reenlistment code.
2.       The Board, consisting of Ms., Ms., and Mr. reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 13 February 2008 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.
3.       The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice finds as follows:
a.       Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.
b.       Although enclosure (1) was not filed in a timely manner, it is in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and review the application on its merits.
c.       Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 8 August 2000 at age 17. On 29 September 2000, during recruit training, he was diagnosed with enuresis that existed prior to his entering the service.
d.       On 9 October 2000, Petitioner’s commanding officer directed that he be discharged from the naval service with an entry level separation by reason of “Erroneous Entry (Other)” due to the diagnosed condition. Petitioner waived
 his right to make a statement regarding the separation. He was discharged with an entry level separation and assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code on 19 October 2000.
e.       In his application, Petitioner states that he has not had a reoccurrence in seven years and would like to enlist in the Navy.
f.       The reenlistment code of RE-4 means that he is not recommended for reenlistment. However, he could have been assigned a less restrictive code of RE-3E.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board concludes that Petitioner’s request warrants favorable action.
In this regard, the Board finds no useful purpose was served by assignment of the most restrictive reenlistment code of RE-4, and assignment of the RE-3E code more accurately reflects the quality of his service.
RECOMMENDATION:
a.       That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected to show that on 19 October 2000, he was assigned an RE-3E reenlistment code, vice the RE-4 issued on that date.
b.       That a copy of this report of proceedings be filed in Petitioner’s naval record.
c.       That upon request, the Department of Veterans Affairs be informed that Petitioner’s application was received on
 23 May September 2007.










4. It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.

ROBERT D. ZSALMAN        BRIAN J. GEORGE
Recorder         Acting Recorder

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section
6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulation, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
