TAL
Docket No: 4425-12
18 March 2013
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 March 2013. 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 entered active duty in the Navy on 17 June 1996. Based on
the information currently contained in your record it appears
that you suffered blunt trauma to both of your eyes, causing a
retinal scar on your left eye with permanently decreased vision.
You were diagnosed as requiring ongoing lifelong monitoring. On
11 October 2011, the separation authority approved and directed
that you be separated at the end of your enlistment based on
your medical disqualification with an honorable characterization
due to non-retention. At that time you were assigned a
waivable RE-3M reenlistment code. In this regard, you were
assigned the most favorable reenlistment code based on your
circumstances. The RE-3M reenlistment code may not prohibit
reenlistment, but requires that a waiver be obtained from
recruiting personnel who are responsible for reviewing the
feasibility of satisfying the Navy’s personnel manning goals by
determining whether or not an individual meets the standards for
reenlistment. If you wish to reenlist, re-affiliate, or be
reinstated in the Navy, you should contact the Navy Recruiting
Command via your nearest recruiting facility.
The Board, in its review of your record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
overall record of service and desire to change your RE-3M
reenlistment code and narrative reason. Nevertheless, the Board
concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant such
‘changes because of your diagnosed medical condition which
‘rendered you incapable of continued service. Again, you were
assigned the appropriate reenlistment code for your situation.
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,
\y dea.
