BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 —
BC
Docket No: 02496-14
14 August 2014
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of titie 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 13 August 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 on 14 December 2005. On 15 November
2006, you failed to meet the body fat composition standard. On
18 April 2007, you received counseling concerning two incidents
of driving on a suspended license and driving a vehicle without
permission. On 18 June 2007, you again failed to meet the body
fat composition standards. On 14 May 2009, you received
nonjudicial punishment (NUP) for dereliction in the performance
of your duties. On your separation physical it documents that
you failed to meet the physical fitness requirements on three
occasions within a four year period. You were informed that you
were being recommended for administrative separation due to not
meeting physical fitness standards. Your commanding officer
recommended that you receive an honorable discharge. On 29 May
2009, you were discharged by reason of physical standards with
an honorable characterization of service and assigned an RE-4
(ineligible for reenlistment) reentry code.
As you have failed to demonstrate that your reentry code was
assigned in error or that it would be in the interest of justice
to assign a more favorable code, the Board was unable to
recommend favorable action on your request. 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
ithe 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
