(2) Case Summary
(3) Subject's naval record
‘I. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a)
, Petitioner
applied to this Board requesting that his naval record be
corrected by changing his reentry code issued on 22 October 2001.
2. The Board, consisting of Mr . (ee . ee and Ms.
1, reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and
injustice on 20 June 2007 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,
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. Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 3 February 2000. on
19 September 2001 he received nonjudicial punishment for an
unauthorized absence of 19 days and missing movement.
c. A psychiatric evaluation conducted on 28 September 2001
diagnosed Petitioner as having an adjustment disorder and
dependent features. He had previously admitted to suicidal
thoughts.
e. Character of service is based, in part, on the average
of the individual trait averages on all enlisted performance
evaluations. Petitioner’s individual trait average was 2.59.
The minimum average required for a fully honorable
characterization of service at the time of Petitioner's
separation was 2.0.
f. Reference (b) states that a personality disorder, as
defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), must be diagnosed in order to
support a separation by reason of personality disorder. The DSM-
IV does not list an adjustment disorder as a personality
disorder.
g. An individual separated due to an adjustment disorder
should receive a narrative reason for separation of “condition
not a disability”. An RE-4 reentry code may be assigned to
indicate that the individual is not recommendéd for reenlistment.
Alternatively, a code of RE-3G may be assigned, to indicate that
a waiver is required.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the
Board concludes that Petitioner’s request warrants partial
relief. Specifically his general discharge should be
recharacterized to honorable: based on his individual trait
average and because he did not have a personality disorder the
record should be corrected to show a separation by reason of a
condition not a disability.
With respect to his reentry code the Board notes that the RE-4
reentry code is authorized by regulatory guidance for individuals
discharged due to an adjustment disorder which is appropriate in
this case due to his history of suicidal thoughts. The Board
thus concludes that there is no error or injustice in his reentry
code, and that his request for a change in his reentry code be
denied.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
he was issued an honorable discharge by reason of condition not a
disability on 22 October 2001.
b. That no further relief be granted.
c. That this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner's
naval record.
d. That, upon request, the Veterans Administration be informed
that Petitioner’s application was received by the Board on 17 May
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.
