BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
SIN
Docket No: 03954-13
14 May 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 7 May 2014. 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
24 March 2010. On 6 April 2010, a recruit mental health
evaluation was conducted, and it was determined that you suffered
from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and a depressive
disorder, both of which existed prior to your entry into the
service. You were counseled regarding your conditions, and
advised to seek treatment after separation.
Based on the mental evaluation, you were processed for separation
by reason of erroneous enlistment due to the diagnosed disorders.
On 7 April 2010, 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 15 April 2010 you were discharged with
an entry level separation by reason of erroneous enlistment. At
that time, you were assigned a reentry code of RE-8.
The Board noted that applicable regulations allow the assignment
of an RE-8 reentry code to individuals who are separated due to
erroneous enlistment based on medical conditions that existed
prior to entry into the service and is available to recruits
assigned to Recruit Training Command for initial training only.
In this regard, you were assigned the most favorable reentry code
based on your circumstances. Please be advised that RE-8 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 Navy's 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 Navy, you should contact
the Navy Recruiting Command via your nearest recruiting facility.
The Board thus concluded that there is no error or injustice in
your 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,
ROBERT D. ALMAN
Acting Executive Director
