BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
REC
Docket No: 06145-12
28 June 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 27 June 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
13 April 2006, at age 18. On 17 January 2007, you were referred
for a mental health evaluation which was conducted and diagnosed
with an adjustment disorder with depressed mood. You were
counseled regarding your condition. On 14 March 2007, you
reported to the ship’s medical department and informed them that
you wanted to kill yourself. On 16 March 2007, a second mental
health evaluation was conducted and you were diagnosed with an
adjustment disorder with depressed mood, and suicidal ideation.
Based on the mental health evaluation you were processed for
separation by reason of a diagnosed personality disorder, and
the fact that you disclosed that you had suicidal ideation.
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
25 May 2007, you were discharged with an honorable
characterization of service by reason of a diagnosed personality
disorder. At that time, you were assigned a reentry code of
RE-4 (not recommended for retention).
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
based on 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.
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,
Weak,
W. DEAN PFE

The principle of rating all mental health symptoms under the predominate diagnosis is endorsed and there is no evidence in the record that CI's impairment due to different diagnoses can be specifically separated. The LCSW noted a decrease in panic attacks to 1x/week, and the VA noted that the CI had self-discontinued medications as not helping and making him feel worse and noted impaired interpersonal interactions. The Board determined that at the time of separation, the CI's clinical...
