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

Docket No: 3810-18  
Ref: Signature Date  

From:  Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records  
To:    Secretary of the Navy  

Ref:   (a) 10 U.S.C. § 1552 Encl:  
     
Encl:  (1) DD Form 149 with attachments 

1. Pursuant to the reference, Petitioner, a former enlisted Marine, filed enclosure (1), requesting removal of an error on MCRD 1900/17. 

2. The Board, consisting of       , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 30 May 2019, and pursuant to its regulations, determined  the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of his naval service records, and applicable statutes, regulations, policies.  

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, finds as follows: 

    a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  

    b. Petitioner entered active service in the Marine Corps on 18 December 2017.  On 28 December 2017, the battalion commander recommended entry level separation, using form MCRD 1900/17 (REV .1-15).  In the “comments” section, the battalion commander stated “SNR HAS expressed an SI that required an SIR event/incident report.”   On 16 January 2018, Petitioner was discharged with an uncharacterized entry-level separation due to fraudulent entry.  

    c. Petitioner contends MCRD 1900/17 is in error because he was not, and is not, suicidal.  He further contends there is no mention of suicidal ideation anywhere else in his record, and the assignment of a RE-3F (failure to complete recruit training) reentry code is further proof that he was not suicidal.  Additionally, Petitioner contends he requested removal of the line during his checkout, but the clerk told him it would take “another two weeks at least” to get all the signatures.  

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board determined Petitioner’s request warrants relief. 

RECOMMENDATION: 

In view of the above, the Board directs the following corrective action: 

That “SNR HAS expressed an SI that required an SIR event/incident report.” be removed from 
MCRD 1900/17. 

No further changes be made to Petitioner’s record. 

A copy of this report of proceedings be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 

Upon request, the Department of Veterans Affairs be informed that Petitioner’s application was 
received by the Board on 1 May 2018. 

4. It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above-entitled matter. 

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulation, Section 723.6(e)), and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing  corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
