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

Docket No: 0812-16 DEC 1 9 2016 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the provisions oftitle 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 20 July 2016. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferror 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 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 ofprobable material error or injustice. You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 24 August 2012. On 1 May2015, you were diagnosed with an adjustment disorder, as a result, you were recommended for administrative discharge. You were notified of administrative separation, at which time you waived your right to consult with counsel. The separation authority directed administrative discharge by reason of"convenience of the government -physical or mental conditions," due to your diagnosed adjustment disorder. On 26 May 2015, you were so discharged, at which time you were assigned a reentry code of RE-4. 

The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant relief in your case based on the diagnosed adjustment disorder and your command's non­recommendation for retention. 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 of new 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 regularity attaches to all official records. Consequently, when applying for a correction ofan official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
