- ..:.'

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, United States Code, section 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in	ecutive session, considered your . application on 15 May 2015. 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; you·r naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies .·

After careful and conscientious consideration of·the entire record, the Board found .the evidence ·submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice .

You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 5 November 2014.	On 22 December 2014, you were diagnosed with an -adjustment disorder with mixed disturbances of emotions and
conduct.	Although your condition was not a disability, you were not recommended for continued military service due to your uncontrollable ·anger and self-injurious behavior. As a result , you failed to meet the ·minimum mental standards for enlistment and were recommended for an administrative separation due to a condition not a disability. On 8 January 2015, you were discharged with an uncharacterized entry level separation by reason of erroneous enlistment and issued an RE-4 reentry code.

The Board, in its review of your entire record and applicat1on, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as

your desire to upgrade your discharge and allegations that you were falsely accused . Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant relief in your case because you provided no evidence to support your claim and you were not recommended for retention.	Finally, Sailors with an inability to adapt to the military environment woul	normally be assigned an RE-4 reenlistment code, which is a bar to reenlistment.	Accordingly, your application has bee denied.

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 o other matter not previously considered by
the Board within one year from the date of the Board's decision. In this regard, i-t  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,

Executive Director
