ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
SIN
Docket No: 05410-13
24 June 2014
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10, 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 17 June 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 Navy and began a period of active duty on
13 January 2011. Your record is incomplete, in that it does not
contain any of the documents pertaining to the reason for your
discharge. The Board found that your Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) indicates you were
diagnosed and separated for a condition, not a disability. You
state that you were diagnosed with “failure to adapt to military
lifestyle”. As stated in the Naval Discharge Review Board (NDRB)
review of 30 October 2013, that a failure to adapt to military
lifestyle typically results in a diagnosis of an adjustment
disorder, which, along with chronic seasickness are considered
conditions, not a disability based on Navy directives. On
15 August 2012, you were honorably discharged by reason of
convenience of the government due to a condition, not a
disability. At that time you were assigned an RE-3G reentry
code. In this regard, you were assigned the most favorable
reentry code based on your circumstances. The RE-3G 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, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your youth, record of
service, and desire to change your RE-3G reentry code.
Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not
sufficient to warrant such a change because of your diagnosed
medical condition that rendered you incapable of continued
service. Finally, Sailors discharged by reason of a condition,
not a disability would normally be assigned an RE-4 reentry code.
Again, you were assigned the appropriate reentry code for your
situation. 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, .
ae
ROBERT D SALMAN
Acting Executive Director
