BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
REC
Docket No: 01706-12
29 November 2012
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 28 November 2012. 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
1 November 1989, at age 20. On 31 October 1996, a mental health
evaluation was conducted and diagnosed you with a personality
disorder with avoidant features. Based on the mental health
evaluation, you were processed for separation by reason of a
diagnosed personality disorder. After you were advised of your
rights, you elected to receive copies of documents to be
forwarded to the separation authority, but waived all your other
procedural rights. Subsequently, on 20 November 1996, you were
discharged with an honorable characterization of service by
reason of your diagnosed personality disorder. At that time,
you were assigned a reentry code of RE-4.
In its review of your application, the Board considered all
mitigating factors, such as your youth. Nevertheless, the Board
found these factors were insufficient to warrant changing your
reentry code due to your diagnosed personality disorder. The
Board noted that applicable regulations authorize an RE-4
reentry code for individuals who are not recommended for
retention. The Board thus concluded that there is no error or
injustice in your reentry code which was correctly assigned
under your circumstances. 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,
BRIAN J. GEORGE
