Docket No: 5748-14
c. Petitioner reenlisted on 1 March 2003, after more than
16 years of prior satisfactory service. From 4 February through
7 June 2004, he was the subject of mental health evaluations and
treatment for a situational phobia, fear of heights. The
health care provider stated in part, that while demonstrating
moderate improvement in concurrent symptoms of depression and
generalized anxiety, he continues to have significant anxiety
related to his fear of heights and occupational impairment due
to this phobia. As such he was recommended for an
administrative separation.
d. Petitioner was notified of pending administrative
separation by reason of convenience of the government due to a
condition not a disability. On 6 August 2004, he was discharged
with an honorable characterization of service and assigned a
reentry code of RE-4.
CONCLUSION :
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action. The Board determines that no useful purpose is served
by assignment of the reentry code of RE-4, and that the RE-3G
code more accurately reflects the circumstances of his service.
In view of the above, the Board directs the following :corrective
action.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
on 6 August 2004, he was issued an RE-3G reentry code.
b. That a copy of this Report of Proceedings be filed in
Petitioner’s naval record.
4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it _is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the
foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board's
proceedings in the above entitled matter.
