This is in reference to your application for correction of your
. Maval 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 15 October 2009. 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
21 March 1984, at age 23. On 9 May 1994, you were the subject of
a psychiatric evaluation. conducted at Naval Medical Center,
Naples, Italy, which found you psychiatrically unfit for
Shipboard life and overseas duty, with feelings of depression,
irritability, homesickness and difficulty concentrating.: You
were transported to the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda,
Maryland, for additional evaluations, which diagnosed you with a
personality disorder not otherwise specified with narcissistic
and passive aggressive traits and you were recommended for -
administrative separation.
On 3 October 1994, administrative discharge action was initiated
by reason of your diagnosed personality disorder. You waived
your rights to consult counsel, submit’ a statement or have your
case heard by an administrative discharge board (ADB). Your
commanding officer forwarded his recommendation that you be
discharged under honorable conditions by reason of a personality
disorder. On 29 November 1994, the discharge authority directed
an honorable discharge by reason of a personality disorder.
¢
On 1 December 1994, you were so discharged. At that time you
were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
overall record of service, Nevertheless, the Board found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing the reason
of your discharge, or reenlistment code given your diagnosis. An
RE-4 reenlistment code is required when an individual is not
recommended for retention and discharged due to a personality
disorder. The Board also noted that you waived the right to an
ADB, your best opportunity for retention. 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,
