DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TJR
Docket No: 8679-07
27 October 2008
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 21 October 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 15 November 1985 at age 18. You
served without disciplinary infraction until 19 May 1986, when
you began a period of unauthorized absence (UA) that was not
terminated until 2 June 1986. Although this misconduct was
pending nonjudicial punishment, the record does not reflect that
any such action was taken.
On 23 June 1986, you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation
because of a suspected personality disorder. At that time you
reported a history of behavior problems and violent, destructive,
and injurious behavior towards those you perceived to be
homosexual, a feeble attempt at suicide, being dropped from ‘A!’
School due to your poor academic performance, and facing legal
problems related to a charge of assault. You were diagnosed with
a severe antisocial personality disorder with borderline features
and episodic alcohol abuse, and recommended for an administrative
discharge.
Subsequently, you were notified of pending administrative
separation action by reason of convenience of the government due
to the diagnosed personality disorder. At that time you did not
object to the discharge. On 1 July 1986 your commanding officer
recommended discharge by reason of convenience of the government
due to the diagnosed personality disorder due to the diagnosed
personality disorder. On 3 July 1986 the discharge authority
approved this recommendation and directed discharge under
honorable conditions by reason of other physical/mental condition
as evidenced by the diagnosed personality disorder. On 18 July
1986 you were issued a general discharge and assigned an RE-4
reenlistment code.
Character of service is based, in part, on conduct and overall
trait averages which are computed from marks assigned during
periodic evaluations. Your conduct average was 1.0. An average
of 3.0 in conduct was required at the time of your separation for
a fully honorable characterization of service.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire to reenlist. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization of your discharge or changes to your narrative
reason for separation or reenlistment code because of your
diagnosed personality disorder, period of UA, and since your
conduct average was insufficiently high to warrant an honorable
discharge. 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,
NAVY | BCNR | CY2008 | 07567-08
