BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SMW
Docket No: 5566-07
13 May 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 7 May 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.
On 25 May 2005, you enlisted in the Navy at- age 20.
On 20 September 2006, you received a psychiatric evaluation
during which you expressed suicidal ideation. The evaluation
diagnosed you as having post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
which existed prior to enlistment and an avoidant personality
disorder, and concluded by recommending discharge. On
27 September 2006, your commanding officer initiated
administrative separation by reason of convenience of the
government due to a personality disorder. In connection with
this processing, you acknowledged the separation action. On
5 October 2006, the separation authority approved the
separation recommendation and directed an honorable discharge
by reason of convenience of the government due to a personality
disorder. On 12 October 2006, you were so discharged and
assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
Regulations authorize assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code
to members who are separated due to a personality disorder and
are considered a threat to harm themselves or others if
retained. Since you have been treated no differently than
others in your situation, the Board could not find an error or
injustice in the assignment of the RE-4 reenlistment code.
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
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,
TR S fot
