BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TUR
Docket No: 6785-10
22 Aperal. 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 19 April 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 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 Navy on 24 August 1988 at age 23 and served
without disciplinary incident. About seven months later, in
March 1989, you were referred for a psychiatric evaluation
because of your somatization disorder and repeated reporting for
medical attention. You were diagnosed with an adjustment
disorder with physical complaints and a depressed mood, and a
dependent and avoidant personality disorder. The report stated,
in part, that because you were potentially dangerous to yourself
and others, you were recommended for an administrative
separation.
Subsequently, 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 by reason of the diagnosed personality disorder and
further stated that you were not recommended for retention or
reenlistment. The discharge authority directed an honorable
discharge by reason of convenience of the government due to a
diagnosed personality disorder, and on 23 March 1989, you were so
discharged and were assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your desire to change the narrative reason for separation and
reenlistment code. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
“Pactors*werevmot sufficient to warrant changes in the narrative
reason for separation or reenlistment code because of the
»severity of your diagnosed personality disorder. Finally, the
‘Board found that you did not provide any psychiatric evidence to
‘negate the diagnosis of a personality disorder at the time of
your naval service. 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,
NAVY | BCNR | CY2011 | 00403-11
