Docket No. 06054-05
25 September 2006
	
	Dear XXXXX

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 2006. 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 nay 1 record md applicable statutes, regul tions and poiicie~

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.

The Board found that you served on active duty in the Navy from 3 April 2002 to 26 April 2005, when you were discharged due to an adjustmen4z disorder, a condition, not a disability, that interfered with your performance of duty. You were assigned at reentry code of RE-4, as permitted by governing directives.

The Board concluded that a reentry code of RE-4 was proper in your case, given your history of suicidal ideation and the anxiety you experienced while on submarine patrols, as well as the fact that you were considered to present a threat of harm to yourself and others. The Board was not persuaded that it would be in the interest of justice for it to take any action that would facilitate your reentry into the Armed Forces. 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,

W. DEAN PFIEFFER
Executive Director
