This is in reference to your application for correction of your

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 February 2014. 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 enlisted in the Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 28 April 1992. The Board found that on 2 February 19395,
a Physical Evaluation Board found you unfit for duty due to
patella femoral syndrome of your right knee. On 1 April 1995,
you were honorably discharged by reason of convenience of the
government due to a physical disability. At that time you were
assigned an RE-3P reentry code. In this regard, you were
assigned the most favorable reentry code based on your
circumstances. The RE-3P reentry 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 Marine Corps’ 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 Marine Corps or any other
military service, you should contact their 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
your record of service, post service accomplishments, desire to
change your RE-3P reentry code, and medical diagnosis of
12 February 2013. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these
factors were not sufficient to warrant such change given your
diagnosed medical condition that rendered you incapable of
continued service, Finally, Marines discharged by reason of a
physical disability are routinely assigned an RE-3P reentry code.
Again, you were assigned the appropriate reentry code for your
-ituation. Accordingly, your application has been denied.
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,
eS Ke QL
