Docket No: 4744-10
7 March 2011
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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 2 March 2011. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Your
allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance
with administrative regulations and procedures applicable te 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 on 30 July 1991 at age 17 and
served without disciplinary incident for about six months.
However, on 17 January 1992, you received nonjudicial punishment
(NJP) for underage drinking and being drunk in public. Further,
your record reflects that during the period from 27 October 1992
to 25 April 1994 you were counselled on eight occasions for
deficiencies in your performance and conduct.
On 13 July 1993, after being hospitalized for complaints of
multiple life stressors and reports of suicidal ideation, you
were diagnosed with an adjustment disorder, marital discord,
occupation problems, and a severe personality disorder which
rendered you incapable of adequately serving. The psychiatric
report stated, in part, that you represented a continuing risk. to
yourself and others and as such should be expeditiously processed
for an administrative separation. On 13 August 1993 you were
reevaluated due to your suicidal ideation and recommended for an
administrative separation due to your diagnosed adjustment
disorder with depressed mood and a personality disorder with
passive aggressive borderline features which rendered you
unsuitable for further service.
In February 1994 you were processed for an administrative
separation by reason of convenience of the government due to your
diagnosed personality disorder. Your commanding officer
recommended discharge under honorable conditions by reason of
convenience of the government due to the diagnosed personality
asorder. Subsequently, $2 25 July 1994, the discharge authority
j;approved thig recommendatién and directed a general discharge by
Yeason of cotivenietice of the government. On 3 August 1994, while
serving in paygradé E-3, you were so discharged and assigned an
RE-3C reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth and desire to change your narrative reason for
separation and reenlistment code. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant relief in
your case because of the seriousness of your misconduct and
severity of your diagnosed personality disorder, both of which
resulted in your nonrecommendation for retention and
reenlistment. Accordingly, your application has been denied.
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,
