DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
JDR
Docket No: 6976-14
5 August 2015
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the
United States Code, section 1552.
Although your application was not filed in a timely manner, the
Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute
of limitations and consider your application on its merits. A
three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
sitting in executive session, considered your application on
23 June 2015. 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 Marine Corps and began a period of active
duty on 17 March 2008. On 2 May 2008, you were counseled and
advised that you would receive an entry level performance and
conduct discharge for failure to adapt and that you have been
assigned a reentry code of RE-3F. On 2 May 2008, you received
an uncharacterized entry-level discharge.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your relatively short period of service and desire to change
your separation and reentry codes. The Board also considered
and your assertions that you feel you were singled out and that
you have matured a lot since then and can be an asset to the
Marine Corps. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors
were not sufficient to warrant a change in your separation and
reentry codes given that you were discharged due to a failure to
adapt to the military environment. Further, you were notified
of your separation process within 180 days of the beginning of
your period of active service. Navy regulations authorize an
uncharacterized entry level separation if the processing for
separation begins within 180 days of entering active duty. With
regard to your assertions, the Board could not conclude whether
or not you were singled out because there is no evidence in the
record, and you provided none, to support the allegation.
Finally, be advised, that an RE-3F 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 Marine Corps personnel manning
goals by determining whether or not an individual meets the
standards for reenlistment. If you wish to reenlist in the
Marine Corps, you should contact your nearest recruiting
facility. 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 within one year from the date of the Board's
decision. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by
the Board prior to making its decision in your case. 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,
OBERT J. O’NELLL
Executive Director
