training. On 17 March 2005 you were evaluated at a mental health
unit where you disclosed your lengthy pre-service history of anxiety
attacks and symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of agoraphobia.

a waiver of physical disqualification in order to become eligible
for reenlistment.
In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that you did not suffer
from a panic disorder with agoraphobia during your brief period of
naval service, the Board was unable to recommend that the diagnosis
of that condition be removed from your record, or that you be assigned
a reentry code that would permit you to reenlist without first having
to obtain a waiver of physical disqualification. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of
«the panel wili 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.
