BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
TAL
Docket No: 5884-13
12 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 4 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 reenlisted in the Navy on 3 July 1990 after more than two
years of prior honorable service. On 10 March 1994, you were
the subject of a psychiatric evaluation and diagnosed with a
personality disorder. It was stated in part, that you had a
long standing disorder of character and behavior which was of
such severity which rendered you incapable of serving
adequately. On 5 April 1994, you were notified of pending
administrative discharge processing with an honorable discharge.
On 19 November 1991, you received the honorable discharge by
reason of your diagnosed personality disorder and were assigned
an RE-4 (not recommended for retention) reenlistment code.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your youth, prior honorable service and overall record of
service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant a change in the reenlistment code.
The Board concluded that your diagnosed personality disorder and
non-recommendation for retention were sufficient to support the
assignment of an RE-4 reenlistment code, which is authorized by
regulatory guidance. 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. ZSALMAN
Acting Executive Director
