BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1004
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
BUG
Docket No: 4380-13
7 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 1 April 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 that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy and entered a period of active duty on
18 May 1998. Your entrance urinalysis tested positive for the
wrongful use of amphetamine/methamphetamine. You were then
notified that you were being administratively separated due to:
erroneous enlistment (drug abuse). On 5 June 1998, you were
administratively separated with an uncharacterized entry level
of separation due to erroneous enlistment (drug abuse), and
assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for retention) reentry code.
In its review of your application, the Board carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth and
desire to change your reentry code. However, the Board
concluded that your reentry code should not be changed due to
your drug abuse, failure to complete recruit training, and non-
recommendation for retention. In view of the above, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members
of the panel will be furnished upon request.
You are advised that the Navy Reserve does not issue a
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. (DD Form
214) upon separation. You were correctly issued a Record of
Discharge, Release from Active Duty, or Death (Navy Personnel
601-14) upon your separation, a copy of which you enclosed with
your application.
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. ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
