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

 

SIN
Docket No: 01792-11
2 December 2011

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.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 29 November 2011. 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 and began a period of active duty on

28 August 1991. The Board found that on 1 April 1992, you were
the subject of a psychiatric evaluation. You were diagnosed with
an adjustment disorder, a personality disorder that existed prior
to you entering the Navy, and were severely dependent on alcohol.
The report further stated that you presented an ongoing suicide
risk. Subsequently, you were notified of pending administrative
separation action by reason of convenience of the government due
to the diagnosed adjustment and personality disorders. You
elected to waive the rights to consult counsel, or submit a
statement. Your commanding officer forwarded his recommendation
for discharge to the separating authority. The recommendation
was approved and on 4 May 1992 you received a general discharge.

Characterization of service is based, in part, on trait marks
assigned on a periodic basis. Since your record 16 incomplete,
it must be presumed that your trait mark average did not meet the
minimum average required for a fully honorable discharge.
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and short
period of service. Nevertheless, the Board found that these
factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization of your
discharge given the diagnoses of an adjustment and personality
disorders, and suicide risk. Accordingly, your application has
been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel
will 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.

Sincerely,
Quod

W. DEAN PF Ei
Executive rectbr
