DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SUN
Docket No: 12529-09
16 September 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 14 September 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
28 September 1989. On 25 May 1990, you were diagnosed with a
personality disorder. The report stated, in part, that you
contemplated suicide while you were in an unauthorized absence
status. You were also evaluated for situational depression. At
that time you had the presence of suicidal thoughts and urges,
but denied any history of having acted on it. You also expressed
a desire to get out of the Navy and continued to think about
suicide. It was found that you were responsible for your
behavior and should be held accountable for your actions.
Administrative discharge action was initiated by reason of
convenience of the government due to the diagnosed personality
disorder. After being informed of your procedurals rights, you
elected to submit a statement on your behalf. On 1 June 1990,
you received a general discharge due to the diagnosed personality
disorder. At that time, you were assigned a RE-4 reenlistment
code.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, record of
service, and post service accomplishments. Nevertheless, the
Board found that these factors were not sufficient to warrant
recharacterization or changing the reason for your discharge, or
changing your reenlistment code given the diagnosis of a
personality disorder and suicidal ideation. An RE-4 reenlistment
code is routinely assigned under such circumstances.
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,
Weep )
