Docket No: 1945-19 
Ref: Signature Date           

Dear  
 
This is in reference to your application of 17 January 2019 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 that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied. 
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 21 October 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, together with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 
 
You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 22 January 2018.  On 9 July 2018, administrative discharge action was initiated due to your failure to adapt to military lifestyle.  After being afforded all of your procedural rights, you waived them, and your case was forwarded to the separation authority for review.  On 31 August 2018, you received an uncharacterized discharge due to entry level performance and conduct and a RE-4 reentry code. 
 
You requested the Board change your reentry (RE) code.  You assert that your RE-4 is inaccurate because you served honorably for 219 days, but you were injured and did not receive adequate care.  In support of your application, you attached an undated personal note from a Naval officer with whom you did not serve, but who supports your attempt to reenter the Navy. 
 
The Board found no error in the records.  With regard to your contention that your RE code is improper, the Board noted that you were notified of your separation process within 180 days of the beginning of your period of active service.  A RE-4 is authorized when a service member is found unqualified for further military service by reason of inability, lack of effort, failure to adapt to the military environment, or minor disciplinary infractions during the first 180 days of 
continuous active military service.  With regard to your contention that you were injured and did not receive adequate care, the Board noted that you provided no evidence to support your contentions.  Absent such evidence, the Board relied upon the presumption of regularity and presumed that the officials acted in good faith and in accordance with governing law. 
 
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.
