BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
REC
Docket No: 04418-10
6 May 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 4 May 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 3 February 1999, at age 18. On 1 June 1999, you
attempted to commit suicide by taking 24 Tylenol capsules which
resulted in having your stomach pumped. On 7 June 1999, a mental
health evaluation was conducted and found you to have no
personality disorders and determined that you were fully
responsible for your behavior. On 17 June 1999, your commanding
officer recommended that you be separated by reason of entry
level performance and conduct due to failure to adapt. On
19 July 1999, you were discharged from active duty with an entry
level separation and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code
based on your performance and conduct.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
ail potentially mitigating factors, such as your overall record
of service, and youth. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant a change in the
reenlistment code, which was based on your substandard behavior.
In this regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code is required when an
individual is discharged with an entry level separation and less
than 180 days of service. Accordingly, your application has been
Genied. 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,
\o Dank
