BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

 

TUR
Docket No: 403-11
21 October 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.

R three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 18 October 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.

You enlisted in the Navy on 11 April 1989 at age 21 and
immediately began a period of active duty. You served without
disciplinary incident until 15 June 1989, when you received
nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for attempting to falsify official
documents by pretending to be another recruit. Shortly
thereafter, you were in an unauthorized absence (UA) status from
28 July to 5 August 1989.

On 11 August 1989 you were referred for a mental health
evaluation due to your suicidal ideation as evidenced by your
statement that you would kill yourself if sent to correctional
custody. You were diagnosed with a personality disorder with
passive aggressive and narcissistic features. The psychiatric
report stated, in part, that the severity of your suicidal
threats and diagnosed personality disorder required psychiatric
admission for further evaluation. Nonetheless, you were
recommended for an expeditious administrative separation. You
were also advised that you were not recommended for retention and
were ineligible for reenlistment due to the diagnosed
psychological condition.

On 15 August 1989 you were notified of pending separation action
by reason of convenience of the government due to the diagnosed
personality disorder. At that time you did not object to the

separation and waived your procedural rights. Subsequently, the
discharge authority directed your commanding officer to issue an
uncharacterized entry level separation and to assign an RE-3G

reenlistment code, and on 31 August 1989, you were so separated.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, desire to change your narrative reason for
separation, and the neuropsychological evaluation report of July
1991. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant a change of your narrative reason for
separation. The Board concluded that the narrative reason for
separation was administratively and procedurally correct.
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 entitied 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,

ane

W. DEAN PFERFF
Executive Directo
