DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SIN
Docket No: 08589-07
22 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 16 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 the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy on 10 July 1979 at age 18. You served
over three years without incident until 25 March 1983, when you
received nonjudicial punishment for wrongful use of LSD. You
remained on active duty until you were honorably released from
active duty and transferred to the Navy Reserve on 8 July 1983.
At that time, you were not recommended for reenlistment due to
your inability to perform well in a standard Navy work center and
assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code. You were so discharged on
15 October 1984 after completion of your required service.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, overall
record of service, and the reason you were not permitted to
reenlist. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant a change in the reenlistment code. In
this regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code is required when a Sailor
is separated at the expiration of his term of active obligated
service and is not recommended for retention. 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,
