BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
REC
Docket No: 05615-09
16 April 2010
for correction of your
f title 10 of the United
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 14 April 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
ir uetice.
You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on
27 October 2004, at age 19. On 10 March 2005, a mental health
evaluation was conducted, and you were given a diagnosis of
having an adjustment disorder with depressed mood, boarderline
personality disorder, occupational problems and moderate symptoms
of difficulty in functioning. You disclosed that you had a
history of chronic suicidal ideation with multiple scarring on
your arms from prior self-inflicted cutting. Based on the mental
health evaluation, you were processed for separation by reason of
a diagnosed personality disorder. After you were advised of your
rights, you elected to receive copies of documents to be
forwarded to the separation authority, but waived all your other
procedural rights. Subsequently, on 29 April 2005, you were
discharged with an honorable characterization by reason of a
diagnosed personality disorder. At that time, you were assigned
the most favorable reenlistment code of RE-3G.
In its review of your application, the Board considered all
mitigating factors, such as your youth. However, the Board found
these factors were insufficient to warrant changing your
reenlistment code due to your diagnosed personality disorder.
The Board noted that applicable regulations authorize the
assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code to individuals who are
separated due to medical conditions that interfere with duty
performance. The Board thus concluded that there is no error or
injustice in your RE-3G 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,
