BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS -
2 NAVY ANNEX
‘ WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SIN
Docket No: 02449-09
19 January 2010
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 12 January 2010. 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 reenlisted in the Marine Corps on 21 September 1987 after
serving over three years of honorable service. You served
without incident for over six more years until 20 October 1993,
when you were admitted to a naval hospital due to recurrent
suicidal ideations. You were diagnosed with a borderline
personality disorder. The, report further Stated, in part, that
you had inquired if your Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance
would be paid to your beneficiaries if you committed suicide, and
that you wanted out of the Marine Corps and would “do whatever it
takes” even if you had to take your own life. Based on the
information currently contained in your record it appears you
were notified of pending administrative separation action by
reason of convenience of the government due to the diagnosed
personality disorder. You elected to waive your rights to
consult counsel, submit a statement, and present your case to an
administrative discharge board (ADB). Your commanding officer
forwarded his recommendation for discharge to the separation
authority. The recommendation was approved and on 10 December
1993 you received a general discharge.
“The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, prior
honorable service, and last period of satisfactory performance.
Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not
sufficient to warrant changing the reason for your separation
given the diagnosis of a personality disorder and your suicidal
ideation. The Board noted you waived your right to an ADB, your
best opportunity for retention or a better characterization of
service. 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,
\ Meas
