BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX JRE

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
Docket No. 04664-10

22 February 2011

 

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.

R three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
sitting in executive session, considered your application on 17
February 2011. 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.

You served on active duty in the Marine Corps from 31 December 1996
to 31 March 1998, when you were discharged by reason of physical
disability due to a spinal disorder which caused chronic low back
pain. You were assigned a reentry code of RE-3P to indicate that
you require a waiver of physical disqualification in order to become
eligible for reenlistment. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
denied your requests for service connection for a lower back
condition on 2 September 1999 and 20 September 2007, which suggests
that you believed the condition was disabling. In each case, the
VA determined that the available evidence did not establish that the
back condition was aggravated by your naval service, and denied your
request for disability compensation.
In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that you were fit for
duty on 31 March 1998 and therefore discharged in error, the Board
concluded that there was no basis for correcting your record to show
that you received a more favorable reentry code than RE-3P.
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,
