BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No: 1879-16 

DEC 23 2016 

Dear : 

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

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 9 August 2016. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 
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 ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofyour application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record, and applicable statutes, 
regulations, and policies. 

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

You enlisted in the Navy and begin a period ofactive duty on 8 April 2007. Listed on your 
evaluation report covering the period of22 July 2007 to 10 April 2008 stated you received 
Captain's Mast and were reduced in rate and being processed for administrative separation. As a 
result of the foregoing, on 6 May 2008 you received a General (Under Honorable Conditions) 
discharge for reason ofmisconduct with a separation code ofJKQ. At that time you were 
assigned an RE-4 reentry code. On 6 May 2008 you signed a NAVPERS 1070/613 
acknowledging that you have been informed about not being eligible for reenlistment which the 
proper reenlistment code is an RE-4. 

The Board in its review of your Official Military Personnel Record (OMPF) and application 
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your desire to change your RE-4 
reentry code, being a lot older and wiser, and the family member that requires your assistance. 
Nevertheless, the Board found that these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing your 
reentry code. Accordingly, your application has been 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 ofnew and material 
evidence within one year from the date ofthe Board's decision. New evidence is evidence not 
previously considered by the Board prior to making its decision in your case. In this regard, it is 
important to keep in mind that a presumption of applying for correction ofan official naval 
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence ofthe probable material error 
or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
