iw
This is inreference 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 5 December 2013. 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy on 27 February 1998. Although you
disclosed the history of counseling you had undergone in 1992,
you did not report the counseling you had undergone at age 12
related to physical abuse by your father. You were discharged
on 8 May 2000 for the convenience of the government due to a
personality disorder.
The fact that you have been diagnosed with posttraumatic stress
disorder related to an unspecified, but reportedly
combat-related, stressor does not demonstrate that you were
unfit for service by reason of physical disability in 2000 due
to the effects of such a condition. Absent evidence of
unfitness, there is no basis for correcting your record to show
that you were separated or retired by reason of physical
disability. In addition, the evidence you submitted in support
of your application does not demonstrate that the diagnosis
which resulted in your discharge is erroneous.
In view of the foregoing, your application has been denied. The
names and votes of the panel members will be furnished upon
request.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such
that favorable action cannot be taken. Youare entitled to have
the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and
material evidence or other matter not previously considered by
the Board. Inthis 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. The Board
will not reconsider your request unless you submit complete
records of the counseling you underwent in 1989/90, 1992 and
2000-2013
Sincerely,
bo oa
