Docket No: 4756-20 Ref: Signature Date Dear : 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 23 October 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, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. You enlisted in the Navy on 9 January 2019. On 27 February 2019, you self-referred to the Recruit Evaluation Unit and were diagnosed with an unspecified depressive disorder which existed prior to service, an unspecified anxiety disorder which existed prior to service, and a personal history of self-harm which existed prior to service. Subsequently, you were notified of pending administrative separation action by reason of erroneous enlistment. After you waived your procedural rights, the discharge authority directed an uncharacterized (UNCHAR) Entry Level Separation (ELS) by reason of erroneous enlistment. You were discharged with an UNCHAR ELS on 13 March 2019 and assigned an RE-4 (not recommended for reenlistment) reentry code. The Board carefully reviewed your application, weighed all potentially mitigating factors, and considered your contention that you were in a vulnerable place when you walked into medical only one week before graduation. Specifically, the Board considered your contention that you were “extremely vulnerable and acted out of confusion and lack of knowledge” when you shared your history of self-harm but neglected to share that you had not hurt yourself or had suicidal thoughts since around 2013 and that it had been “years since any sort of illness in my head.” The Board noted you did not provide any supporting documentation, advocacy letters, or post-discharge documentation for the Board’s consideration. Unfortunately, after careful consideration of your contentions, the Board concluded relief was not warranted in your case because your RE-4 reentry code is an authorized and appropriate code when an individual is discharged due to erroneous enlistment and not recommended for enlistment. The Board concluded you received the correct reentry code. 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 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. Sincerely,
