WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 CRS
Docket No: 3690-05 29 September 2005

quuinuuiiuumum
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.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 21 September 2005. 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. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion furnished by Headquarters Marine Corps dated 9 May 2005, a copy of which is attached.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. In this connection the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 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 the 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,

	(5)	Ms.	DD Form 149 of 27 Feb 05

1.	service record has been reviewed and it has been determined that her reenlistment code of RE-3C was correctly assigned. The reenlistment code was assigned based on her overall record of performance and means that she was not eligible for reenlistment at the time of separation and the disqualifying factor is not covered by another reenlistment code.

2.	was honorably discharged on January 17, 1986 by reason of Expiration of Enlistment. A review of the administrative portion of her service record indicates that she was counseled concerning lack—bf professional knowledge and initiative, failure to be in proper uniform for formation, failure to procure uniforms for pregnant women, and being notified to appear before a Competency Review Board. It is also noted that on January 17, 1986, Ms. igned an official service record book entry acknowledging assignment of the RE-3C reenlistment code. It is further noted that the Commandant of the Marine Corps directed assignment of the RE-3C reenlistment code due to her performance record. Enclosures (1) through (4) pertain.

3.	After a review of all relevant information, this Headquarters concurs in the professional evaluation of
cations for reenlistment at the time of separation. Once a code is correctly assigned it is not routinely changed or upgraded as a result of events that occur after separation or based merely on the passage of time.
