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

Docket No: 7460-09
11 June 2010

s

 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, United
States Code, Section 1552.

RK three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 9 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 submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.

You enlisted in the Navy on 3 July 1986 at age 17 and served
without disciplinary incident.

On 29 July 1989 you were referred for psychiatric evaluation
because of your suicidal ideation as evidenced by lacerations to
your wrists. You were diagnosed with a severe personality
disorder with borderline features that existed prior to your
enlistment. As a result, you were recommended for an expeditious
administrative separation. Subsequently, 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 mental
condition 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 7 July 1989, 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 to 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. 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,
