DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

BUG

Docket No: 13267-09
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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice. The Board found that you entered active
duty in the Navy on 5 May 1986. On 8 March 1987, you were
hospitalized in Yokosuka, Japan after being found acutely
intoxicated and making a suicidal gesture. You were diagnosed
by a Navy psychiatrist as having a mixed personality disorder
which existed prior to your enlistment. You were notified that
your commanding officer was recommending you for administrative
separation with a type of characterization warranted by your
service record dischrge due to your diagnosed personality
disorder. You waived all of your procedural rights, including
your right to an administrative discharge board (ADB). On 14

October 1987, you received a general discharge due to your
diagnosed personality disorder, and were assigned an RE-4 (not
recommended for retention) reenlistment code.

 

In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, post
service good conduct, and allegation that you have never been
examined by a licensed mental health professional. However,
the Board concluded that your reason for separation should not
be changed because of your diagnosed personality disorder. The
Board also found that you waived your right to an ADB, your
best opportunity for retention or a better characterization of
service. The Board found evidence in your record contrary to
your allegation. In view of the above, 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,

\ wos sde be
