DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TIR
Docket No: 8752-07
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 27 May 1999 at age 18. On 2 June
1999, while in recruit training, you were hospitalized due to a
suicide attempt and referred for a psychiatric evaluation. Asa
result, on 3 June 1999, you reported a history of relationship
problems, experiencing chronic emptiness, having identity
disturbances, and suicidal behavior. You were diagnosed with
occupational problems and a borderline personality disorder. You
were also found to be unfit for further service and recommended
for an expeditious administrative separation.
On 7 June 1999 you were notified of pending administrative
separation by reason of erroneous entry due to the diagnosed
personality disorder. At that time you did not object to the
separation and waived your right to submit a rebuttal statement
to the aforementioned notification. On 8 June 1999 the
separation authority directed an uncharacterized entry level
separation by reason of erroneous entry and on 11 June 1999 you
were so separated and assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, desire to reenlist, and assertion that you were told
that you could reenlist after making sure that you wanted to
serve in the military. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in your
reenlistment code because of your diagnosed personality disorder,
which was sufficient to support the assignment of an RE-4
reenlistment code. Finally, such a code is authorized by
regulatory guidance and normally assigned to Sailors who are
separated due to their failure to complete recruit training.
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,
\o Sook FED
