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

TAL
Docket No: 13095-09
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 25 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

30 June 1986 at age 29. On 6 August 1986, you were the subject
of a medical evaluation that diagnosed you with recurrent
subluxation left glenohumeral joint (dislocation of the
shoulder), a condition that existed prior to enlistment and not
correctable to meet Navy physical standards. The diagnosed
condition interfered with your assignment to and performance of
duty. On 9 August 1986, you were notified of the recommendation
that you be discharged by reason of entry level separation due to
failed medical-physical procurement standards. On 7 August 1986,
your commanding officer directed an entry level separation. On
13 August 1986 you were so discharged and assigned an RE-3E
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. Wevertheless, the Board found that
these factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in your
characterization or reenlistment code given your diagnosis of
recurrent subluxation, left glenohumeral joint. You were
separated on the basis of erroneous enlistment, not the result of
fraudulent conduct. If relevant facts of your condition had been
known the enlistment would not have occurred. The RE-3E
reenlistment code indicates that you were inducted in error.
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,

W. DE
Executive Direpitc
