DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 4571-07
4 February 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 16 January 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 enlisted in the Navy on 8 May 1989 after
five months of prior active service as an officer in the Air
Force. You underwent psychiatric evaluation on 12 October 1989
and were given a diagnosis of an obsessive compulsive personality
disorder. You underwent further evaluations on 18 December 1989
and 2 January 1990, which confirmed that diagnosis. On 18
January 1990 you were separated from the Navy with a general
discharge by reason of a personality disorder, and assigned a
reentry code of RE-4.
Character of service is based, in Part, on one’s conduct and
overall trait averages, both of which are computed from marks
assigned during periodic evaluations. Your conduct an
trait averages were 2.00 and 2.56, respectively. A minimum
average conduct mark of 3.0 and overall trait average of 2.8 were
required for a fully honorable characterization of service at the
time of your separation. A Sailor who was not recommended for
reenlistment by his commanding officer would be assigned a
reentry code of RE-4.
In its review of your application the Board carefully weighed ali
potentially mitigating factors, such as the grief reaction you
experienced as a result of your brother's untimely death, your
qualification as a nurse, and your desire to serve in the Air
Force Reserve. The Board concluded that those factors were
insufficient to warrant corrective action, given your substandard
conduct and overall trait averages, and the diagnosis which
resulted in your discharge. 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 PFEIRPRE
