DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
         WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100        



                 
                  TJR
 Docket No: 7078-07
22 May 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 of reference (a), Petitioner, a former enlisted member of the Navy, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting that her reenlistment code be changed.
2 The Board consisting of Messrs and reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 20 May 2008 and, pursuant to its regulations de t erm ined 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.       Enclosure (1) was filed in a timely manner.
c.       Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 2 February 2000 at age
24.
d.       On 17 March 2000 Petitioner was referred for a psychiatric evaluation because of her reports of sexual and physical assaults, emotional abuse, and having flashbacks and nightmares. She was subsequently diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which existed prior to her enlistment.


Petitioner was recommended for separation due to this disqualifying psychiatric condition which affected her potential for expected performance and responsibilities while on active duty. Although she was not suicidal, she was deemed at risk if retained in the Navy.
e.       On 27 March 2000 Petitioner was issued an uncharacterized entry level separation by reason of erroneous entry due to the diagnosed PTSD, and was assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
f.       Petitioner states that she has overcome her psychiatric problems.
g.       An RE—3E reenlistment code may be assigned to Sailors separated due to erroneous entry. This code may not bar enlistment, but requires a waiver from recruiting personnel who are responsible for determining whether an individual meets the standards for reenlistment, or if a request for a waiver of a reenlistment code is feasible. A Sailor separated for this reason may also receive an RE-4 reenlistment code, which means that the individual is not recommended for retention or reenlistment.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board concludes that Petitioner’s request warrants favorable action.
The Board’s finding is based on the fact that Petitioner’s sole reason for separation was due to a psychiatric condition which she has now overcome. Based on the foregoing, ,the Board believes that Petitioner would have been retained if it were not for her psychiatric condition, and concludes that since an RE-3E reenlistment code is authorized by regulatory guidance for a Sailor who is separated by reason of erroneous entry, such a reenlistment code is more appropriate than the RE-4 reenlistment code now of record.
In view of the foregoing, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.
RECONNENDATION:
a.       That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected by changing the RE-4 reenlistment code assigned on 27 March 2000, to RE-3E.
b.       That any material or entries inconsistent with or relating to the Board’s recommendation be corrected, removed, or completely expunged from Petitioner’s record and that no such entries or material be added to the record in the future.
c.       That any material directed to be removed from Petitioner’s naval record be returned to the Board, together with a copy of this Report of Proceedings, for retention in a confidential file maintained for such purpose, with no cross reference being made a part of Petitioner’s naval record.
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.

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 7 23.6(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.
