DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
JDR
Docket No: 6977-14
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
26 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, began a period of active duty
on 21 July 1986, and served without disciplinary incident for
about two years and seven months. However, during the period
from 6 March 1989 through 25 July 1989, you were assigned to a
remedial physical training program. On 28 November 1995, you
were granted an alternate weight standard, but were unable to
satisfactorily maintain that standard. On 17 February 1998, at
the expiration of your enlistment, you received an honorable
discharge with an RE-4 reentry code. The narrative reason for
discharge was due to weight control failure.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as
your record of service, desire to change your reentry code, and
your contention that your current reentry code severely
restricts the type of employment you can obtain. Nevertheless,
the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant
a change in your reentry code given that you did not
satisfactorily maintain Marine Corps weight standards. With
regard to your assertion, the Board noted that an RE-4 reentry
code is required when an individual is separated at the end of
her term of active service and is not recommended for
reenlistment. 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.
