DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BJG
Docket No: 5781-10
19 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.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 15 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 entered active duty in the Navy on 17 November 1997. While
at recruit training, you were diagnosed as being alcohol and
marijuana dependent, which you failed to disclose and existed
prior to your enlistment. You were administratively processed
for separation due to erroneous entry (drug abuse). On 10
December 1997, you received an uncharacterized entry level
separation due to erroneous entry (drug abuse), and were
assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for reenlistment) reentry
code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
current desire to serve in the armed forces. However, the
Board concluded that your RE-4 reentry code should not be
changed due to your failure to disclose your alcohol and
marijuana dependence. You are advised that no reentry code is
changed due merely to the passage of time or post service good
conduct. In view of the above, 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.
