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

Docket No:  9496-18               
Ref: Signature date 

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. 

Although your application was not filed in a timely manner, the Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and consider your application on its merits.  A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 19 August 2019.  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, relevant portions of your naval record, as well as applicable statutes, regulations, and policies.
 
You enlisted in the Marine Corps and began a period of active duty on 20 June 2011.  Although not all details were found in your service record, administrative discharge action was initiated by reason of condition not a disability.  You subsequently received an honorable discharge on 28 January 2013 with reentry code RE-3P.
 
The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your request to upgrade your reentry code, and assertions that your personal issues that impaired your ability to serve were solved and you would like to reenlist.  There was no evidence in your service record, and you provided none beyond your assertion, that the condition, not a disability, has been solved and reentry code RE-3P is unjust or in error.  In the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, the Board presumed regularity in that the public officers properly discharged their official duties in your separation for a condition, not a disability.  The Board concluded your mitigating factors and assertions were insufficient to warrant a change to your reentry code given your administrative discharge, but noted recruiting commands may waive the RE-3P reentry code according to their own regulations, should you desire to reenlist. 

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 the 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, 

11/7/2019
