BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
SON
Docket No: 00937-10
28 October 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 26 October 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
1 July 1986. The Board found that on 22 September 1986, you were
admitted to a psychiatric unit because of suicidal behavior. The
evaluation stated, in part, that this was your second
hospitalization and after being informed you were not being
administratively separated from the service, you took a razor
back to your room and made numerous superficial lacerations on
your left forearm. Further, you stated that if you were sent
back to duty, you would try to hurt yourself in order to get out
of the Navy. You were diagnosed with a severe dependent
personality disorder and recommended for separation because of
your manipulative and suicidal behaviors in order to be
discharged. You were counseled regarding your intentional
inefficiencies, failure to get along with your peers and adapting
to the military service, and warned that further manifestations
of your personality disorder would result in administrative
discharge action. At that time, you were afforded group,
individual, and milieu psychotherapy. Subsequently, you were
processed for an entry level separation by reason of a
personality disorder. Based on the information currently
contained in your record it appears that after being afforded all
of your procedural rights, you were discharged on
7 November 1986.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and short
period of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these
factors were not sufficient to warrant a change to the reason for
your discharge due to the diagnosed personality disorder and
‘suicidal ideation. Finally, with regard to your characterization
St service, the Board found that you were notified of your
separation process within 180 days of the beginning of your
period of active service. Navy regulations authorize an
tincharacterized entry level separation if the processing of a
Sailor’s separation begins within 180 days of his entry on active
duty. 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,
\PMeak
