Encl: (1) DD Form 149 with attachments
(2) Case summary
(3) Subject's naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, a
former enlisted member of the Navy, filed enclosure (1) with
this Board requesting that the general characterization of her
discharge be changed.
2. The Board, consisting of Messrs. Hedrick, Marquez, and
Zsalman, reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and
injustice on 29 January 2014 and, pursuant to its regulations, a
Majority determined that the corrective action indicated below
should be taken on the available evidence of record,
Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the
enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations
and policies. .
3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining
to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice finds as
follows:
a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law and
regulations within the Department of the Navy.
b. Although it appears that enclosure (1) was not filed ina
timely manner, it is in the interest of justice to waive the
statute of limitations and review the application on its merits.
¢. Petitioner enlisted in the Navy on 2 July 1990 at the age
of 19 and served without disciplinary incident. On 2 April
1992, she was the subject of a psychological evaluation due to a
referral after expressing suicidal and violent thoughts. She
was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder that
existed prior to her enlistment. It was noted that she had a
long standing disorder of character and behavior that would
interfere with serving adequately in the Navy. Subsequently,
she was processed for an administrative separation by reason of |
other physical/mental conditions, personality disorder. The
@ischarge authority directed separation with a characterization
of service warranted by the service record. On 27 April 1992
she was issued a general discharge. At the time of her
discharge she had a conduct average of 3.1 which was sufficient
for a fully honorable characterization of service.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action. The Board's finding is based on her length of service
and periodic conduct marks. The Board notes that her conduct
average was sufficiently high to warrant a fully honorable
characterization of service. Based on the foregoing the Board
concludes that no useful purpose is served by continuing to
characterize her service as having been under honorable
conditions, and recharacterization to a fully honorable
discharge is appropriate.
In view of the foregoing, the Board finds the existence of an
error and injustice warranting the following corrective action.
RECOMMENDATION :
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
she was honorably discharged on 27 April 1992 vice issued the
general discharge under honorable conditions on the same day.
b. That any material or entries inconsistent with or
relating to the Board's recommendation be corrected, removed, or
completely expunged from Petitioner's record and that no such
entries or material be added to the record in the future.
c. That any material directed to be removed from
Petitioner's naval record be returned to the Board, together
with a copy of this Report of Proceedings, for retention ina
confidential file maintained for such purpose, with no cross
reference being made a part of Petitioner's naval record.
4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 723.6(c)}) it is certified that a quorum was
presented at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the
