TJR
Docket No: 911-08
10 December 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 9 December 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 prohable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy on 20 June 1967 at age 20 and served
Without disciplinary incident.
On 15 March 1968 you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation
because of a suicidal gesture, specifically, ingesting an
unspecified amount of Placidyl tablets after consuming alcoholic
beverages. You were diagnosed with a chronic and severe schizoid
personality and an inherent pre-existing personality disorder,
both of which rendered you unsuitable for further service. On 29
March 1968 a medical board recommended separation due to the
diagnosed schizoid personality and personality disorder. At that
time you acknowledged and did not object to your separation by
reason of unsuitability due to the diagnosed personality
disorder. Subsequently, the discharge authority directed an
honorable discharge by reason of unsuitability as evidenced by
the diagnosed personality disorder. On 10 April. 1968 you were so
discharged and assigned av 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 and desire to change the 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 and nonrecommendation for
retention or reenlistment. 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 P R
