DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
CRS
Docket No: 7991-07
23 September 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 17 September 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 28 February
2007. On 14 March 2007 you underwent a psychological evaluation
and admitted to suicidal ideation and a desire to leave the Navy.
You were given a diagnosis of depressive disorder and recommended
for discharge. On 27 March 2007 you received an entry level
separation by reason of erroneous entry and were assigned a
reentry code of RE-4.
The Board noted that a reentry code of RE-4, while not required,
is authorized by regulatory guidance and is often assigned to
service members separated by reason of erroneous entry especially
in cases such as yours where the enlistment is deemed erroneous
because of previously undiagnosed physical, psychological and/or
administrative disqualifications.
The Board did not accept your contention to the effect that you
were misdiagnosed. The Board concluded that it would not be in
the interest of justice to assign you a more favorable reentry
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,
W. DEAN PF
Executive
