BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TUR
Docket No: 11326-07
14 November 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 13 November 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 1 November 1989 at age 19 and served
without disciplinary incident.
On 9 July 1992, you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation
because of stress, previous suicidal ideation, and stating that
you would do anything to get out of the Navy. You were diagnosed
with a personality disorder with passive aggressive, antisocial,
and immature features. You were found to be unsuitable for
further Naval Service because you posed a threat of self-harm and
harm to others. At that time you were recommended for an
administrative discharge.
On 20 July 1992 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. Subsequently, your commanding officer
recommended discharge by reason of convenience of the government
due to the diagnosed personality disorder. On 27 July 1992 the
discharge authority approved this recommendation and directed an
honorable discharge by reason of other physical/mental condition
as evidenced by the diagnosed personality disorder. On 5 August
1992 you were so discharged and assigned an RE-3G reenlistment
code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire to change the wording of your narrative
reason for separation and reenlist code. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant changes to
your narrative reason for separation or reenlistment code because
of your diagnosed personality disorder. Further, regulations do
not permit the rewording of your narrative reason for separation,
especially since there is documented evidence in the record
regarding your diagnosed personality disorder. Finally, Sailors
discharged by reason of a physical/mental condition would
normally be assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code. In this regard,
you were assigned the most favorable reenlistment code for your
situation. 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,
Wout
W. DEAN PFE
