States Code, section 1552.

application on 24 March 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 enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 15
November 1988 at age 19. You were the subject of several
psychiatric evaluations from the period of 16 February 1989
though 27 February 1989 that diagnosed you with a severe
borderline personality disorder that existed prior to entry into
the service. During the evaluation it was stated, in part, that
you were referred by the Chaplain for suicidal ideation and
complained of anxiety, headaches, moodiness, fatigue,
indecisiveness, stomach troubles, angry outbursts, and
loneliness. You were recommended for separation and found to be
unsuitable for continued military service due to your personality
disorder which if retained might have led to a possible suicide
attempt. On 5 April 1989, you were notified of pending
administrative separation action due to your diagnosed
personality disorder. On 20 April 1989, your commanding officer
directed that you be discharged by reason of erroneous
enlistment. On 5 May 1989, you received an entry level
separation and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such ag your youth, overall
record of service and the character letter. Nevertheless, the
Board found that these factors were not sufficient to warrant a
change in your characterization of service given the diagnosis of
a personality disorder. 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,
