BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

WASHINGTON DC 26370-5100
SIN
Docket No: 09660-08
24 August 2009
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 18 August 2009. 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 and began a period of active duty on
22 September 1986 at age 22. On 3 October i986, you were
counseled after your first failure of a recruit training test.
You were assigned mandatory night study, assigned to another
company, and warned that further poor performance and conduct,
could result in administrative discharge action. Unfortunately,
a recruit evaluation report covering the period from 3-13 October
1986, stated, in part, that you were an academic test failure,
were homesick, and the illness of your mother only added to your
problems. You were given training on test taking and given
another chance to take the exam. On 21 October 1986, after your
third failure, you were recommended for separation.
On 23 October 1986, administrative separation action was
initiated due to entry level performance and conduct as evidenced
by your repeated academic failures. Your commanding officer
stated, in part, that you did not have the ability or
determination to satisfactorily complete the required course of
instruction prior to transfer to the fleet. Accordingly, on
6 November 1986, you received an uncharacterized entry level
discharge and assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
Applicable regulations authorize the assignment of an RE-4
reenlistment code to individuals who are separated due to entry
level performance, This code is usually assigned when an
individual is discharged prior to completion of recruit training.
The Board thus concluded that there is no error or injustice in
your reenlistment code. 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,
IVe aes
Executive Dire
