DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 6850-07
23 June 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 4 June 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 15 July 1985.
You underwent psychiatric evaluations on 14 February and 10 March
1986 and were given diagnoses of posttraumatic stress disorder
and borderline personality disorder. You were considered a risk
to yourself and others because of the effects of those
conditions. On 7 May 1986 you received a general discharge by
reason of a personality disorder and were assigned a reenlistment
code of RE-4.,
An RE-4 reenlistment code is authorized by regulatory guidance
and is often assigned to individuals separated by reason of a
personality disorder, especially if they are deemed to constitute
a threat to themselves or others. The Board thus concluded that
there is no error or injustice in your reenlistment code.
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,
La
W. DEAN P
