DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

TOR
Docket No: 6762-09
4 June 2010

 

This ig 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 3 June 2010. The names and votes of the members
of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 eubmitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

You enlisted in the Navy on 6 September 2002 at age 18, began a
period of active duty on 26 February 2003, and served without
Gisciplinary incident.

During the period from 8 May to 23 September 2004 you were
referred for psychological evaluations on three occasions after
reporting feeling depressed all of the time. After undergoing a
psychiatric evaluation, you were diagnosed with a schizotypal
personality disorder. As a result, you were recommended for an
expeditious administrative separation. Subsequentiy, you were
processed for an administrative separation by reason of
convenience of the government due to your diagnosed personality
disorder. Your commanding officer stated, in part, that you were
not recommended for retention, advancement, or reenlistment due
to your inability to adjust to shipboard and/or military life
style and other significant problems. The discharge authority
directed your commanding officer to discharge you under honorable
conditions by reason of convenience of the government due to the
diagnosed personality disorder. On 29 October 2004, you were
issued a general discharge and assigned an 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 upgrade your discharge and change the
narrative reason for separation and reenlistment code because you
believe the diagnosis of a personality disorder is incorrect.
Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your discharge or a
change of the narrative reason for separation or reenlistment
code because of documented evidence of record which is contrary
to your belief and the psychological evidence. Accordingly, your
application has been denied.

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,

Lo aw

W. DEAN PF
Executive Dire
