DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TAL
Docket No: 2838-11
9 December 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.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 7 December 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 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
22 January 2004 at age 18. Although you record is incomplete,
based on the information currently contained in your record it
appears that you were subsequently involuntarily processed for
separation by reason of a diagnosed personality disorder which
was a condition not a disability. In connection with this
processing, you would have acknowledged the separation action and
the separation authority would have approved a recommendation for
separation. The record clearly shows that on 21 March 2008, you
were discharged with an honorable characterization of service by
reason of a personality disorder. At that time you were assigned
an RE-4 reentry code, which means that you were neither
recommended nor eligible for reenlistment.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, overall record of service and desire to reenter the
military. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant a change in your reentry code due to
your diagnosed personality disorder. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members
of the panel will be furnished upon request.
Each branch of the armed forces established its own criteria for
enlistment within the provisions of federal law. The reentry
code assigned by the Navy is not binding upon the other, services,
which are free to accept or reject an application on the basis of
their own standards. If another branch of service decides to
waive your reentry code and accept you for enlistment, the Navy
will not object.
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,
Executive
