Docket No: 11757-12
15 April 2014
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 25 September 2013. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the procedures 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence | of probable material
error or injustice.
The Board found that you enlisted in the Navy on 30 December
1997. You underwent psychological evaluation on i6 March 1998
and diagnosed with a depressive disorder; not otherwise
specified and a borderline personality disorder. On 23 March
1998 you received an uncharacterized entry level separation by
reason of a personality disorder and were assigned a reentry
code of RE- 4.
In'its review of your application the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, overall
record of service, and the unsubstantiated contention that your
recruiter falsified your processing documents. The Board
concluded that these factors were insufficient to warrant
changing the reason for your discharge. In this regard, there
is no evidence in your record, and you provided no evidence,
that your processing documents were falsified.
The Board found that a reentry code of RE-4 is authorized by
regulatory guidance in cases such as yours and is often assigned
to service members separated by reason of a personality
disorder. The Board was not persuaded that it would be in the
interest of justice to assign you a more favorable reentry code,
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,
OS Le
ROBERT D, ZSALMAN
