Docket No:  2439-20 
Ref: Signature date 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552.  After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied. 

A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 14 April 2020.  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, relevant portions of your naval record, as well as applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 

You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 31 July 2019. On 9 January 2019, you completed a medical history in which you described a right ankle fracture in 2016 that was repaired with screws and a plate.  The medical hardware was removed on 15 September 2017.  On 15 August 2019, you were diagnosed with right ankle pain that existed prior to service.  Subsequently, administrative discharge action was initiated by reason of Erroneous Entry.  You received an Entry-level discharge on 11 September 2019. 

The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your desire to upgrade your reentry code and assertions that your life was put on hold.  The Board concluded these factors and assertions were not sufficient to warrant a change to your reentry code, given your diagnosis.  The Board noted your current reentry code allows you to reenlist when the medical condition is resolved and that is a matter for the recruiting service to determine. 
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 the submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149.  New matters are those not previously presented to or 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.
