DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX JRE
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 Docket No. 05690-10
11 April 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.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
sitting in executive session, considered your application on 31 March
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 Navy from 1 August 1988 to 31 July
1991, when you were transferred to the Naval Reserve. You were given
a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis about seven years leter. Shertly
thereafter, you reported a three year history of symptoms of that
disorder. On 10 August 2000 the Commander, Naval Reserve Force
advised you, in part, that a review of available records had not
demonstrated a relationship between the ulcerative colitis and your
service in the Naval Reserve. Thereafter, you were found not
physically qualified for further service, and you were discharged
without entitlement to disability benefits administered by the
Department of the Navy.
In view of the foregoing, and as you have failed to demonstrate your
entitlement to disability retirement or separation from the Navy
Reserve, the Board was unable to recommend favorable action on your
request. 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,
W. DEAN PFE

Hence, the Medical Consultant identifies no medical basis for the recommendation to retroactively assign a 100 percent disability rating for the applicant's ulcerative colitis. After thoroughly reviewing the...

The applicant's contentions that his retired grade should be colonel/O-6 instead of lieutenant colonel/O-5 and that he was unaware he had been transferred to the Retired Reserve until March 2010 were carefully considered and determined to lack merit. Additionally, there is no substantive evidence showing he was referred to a medical evaluation board at the time of his transfer to the Retired Reserve. His major surgery was not performed until 2 years after his transfer to the Retired...
