APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code and narrative reason for separation be changed.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

On 3 February 2004, the applicant's request to change his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code and his narrative reason for discharge was considered and denied by the Board. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request, and, the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit I.

On 31 January 2004, the applicant submitted additional supporting documentation through his Congressman.  In his request, he provided a statement from his physician, who states that he would more likely give a deferred diagnosis at this point regarding any kind of psychiatric or psychological diagnosis.  His physician also states that if his history as given to him is accurate, it sounds as if the applicant might be a very suitable candidate for resumption of active duty in the military.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit J. 

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support of his appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the applicant’s RE code or narrative reason for separation should be changed.  We carefully considered the statement provided by his physician and while the physician indicates the applicant might be suitable for military service, the physician defers his diagnosis.  The Board also notes no evidence has been presented by the applicant in regards to recent psychological evaluations or battery testing to prove his previous diagnosis was incorrect.  Having found no error or injustice with regard to the actions that occurred while the applicant was a military member, we conclude that no basis exists to grant the relief sought.  Accordingly, the applicant’s requests are not favorably considered.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
