JRE
Docket No. 09692-10
1 October 2010
PON he
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. You contend that you discharge by reason of a
personality disorder is erroneous because you were never evaluated
by a mental health practitioner, and that you were told that your
reentry code would “go away” after six months.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
sitting in executive session, considered your application on 30
September 2010. 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. In
this regard the Board found that you were referred for psychiatric
evaluation on 27 August 1989 with a provisional diagnosis of “bipolar
affective disorder, currently manic”. You underwent psychological
evaluation on 31 August 1989 at the Psychiatric Clinic, Naval
Hospital Camp Pendleton. You reported a history of stress and
suicidal ideation related to an assault on your wife, financial
problems, and not adapting to the military. The clinical psychologist
who conducted the evaluation gave you a diagnosis of a mixed
personality disorder and recommended that you be administratively
discharged. You were discharged by reason of a personality disorder
and assigned a reentry code of RE-4 on 24 April 1989. There is no
indication in the available records that you were advised that your
reentry code would “go away” after six months.
In view of the foregoing, and as you have not demonstrated that at
would be in the interest of justice for the Board to change your
reentry code in order to facilitate your enlistment in a branch of
the National Guard, which will not accept you with your current
reentry code, your application has been denied. The names and votes
: members of tie panel will be furnished upon request.
mg is -regretted tha@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
wegularity attaches 4po 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 P
