Docket No: 5631-13
22 duly 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 15 duly 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
25 June 1998. The Board noted that the record reflects that a
Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) diagnosed you with having
“Crohn's disease (chronic)”. It was determined that your
condition did not meet Navy standards and precluded you from
taking overseas and sea duty billets, which impacted your chances
to advance further in your career. Subsequently, you received
an honorable discharge on 13 December 2007 due to a condition,
not a'disability. At that time, you were assigned an RE-4 (not
recommended for retention) reentry code.
The Board noted that applicable regulations require the
assignment of an RE-4 reentry code to individuals who are
separated due to a medical condition that precludes them from
further service. 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,
Tek Se, 0S
