material submitted in support thereof, your naval record, and

to establish the existence of probable material error of

without disciplinary incident.
On 11 January 2008, after being referred for a psychiatric
evaluation due to suicidal ideation and depression, you were
diagnosed with a depressive disorder, severe attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a history of drug
abuse, all of which exieted prior to your enlistment The report
stated in part, that your disorders/conditions were sufficiently
severe to impair your ability to function effectively in a
military environment and that you were 4 threat to yourself and
others. As a result, you were recommended for an expeditious
administrative separation.
Subsequently, you were processed for an administrative separation
by reason of convenience of the government due to your diagnosed
depressive disorder, ADHD, and history of drug abuse. The
discharge authority directed an uncharacterized entry level
separation by reason of convenience of the government due to an
erroneous entry. On 5 February 2007, while serving in paygrade

code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, post service conduct, character reference letters,
and desire to change your reenlistment code. Nevertheless, the
Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant a
change of your reenlistment code because of the seriousness of
your diagnosed depressive disorder, ADHD, suicidal ideation, and
history of drug abuse. Finally, the Board found that you did not
provide any medical or mental health evidence to negate the
diagnosis of your conditions. 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 injvetice.
Sincerely,
