Docket No: 11840-0393
30 August 2010
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval 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 24 August 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
24 Bugust 1998. The Board found that based on the information
currently contained in your record you were the subject of an
erroneous enlistment as evidenced by a dysthymic disorder
that existed prior to your entry. Subsequently, you were
processed for separation by reason of erroneous enlistment.
On 3 September 1998, you received an entry level separation.
At that time you were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code as
result of your diagnosis that stated, in part, that you had a
pattern of behavior characterized by a depressed mood, increased
isolation, uncontrollable crying, insomnia, poor concentration,
an appetite disturbance, and a feeling of helplessness and
hopelessness.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as.
your youth, short period of service, and desire to change your
RE-4 reenlistment code. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant such a change given the
diagnosed dysthymic disorder. In this regard, you were assigned
the appropriate reenlistment code based on your circumstances.
Accordingly, your application has been denied.
Tt 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,
Lom pens !
