Dear  
 
This letter is in reference to your application of 26 June 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 26 September 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. 
 
Regarding your request for a personal appearance, the Board determined that a personal appearance with or without counsel will not materially add to their understanding of the issues involved.  Therefore, the Board determined that a personal appearance was not necessary and considered your case based on the evidence of record. 
 
You enlisted in Marine Corps and began a period of active duty on 27 July 2015.  On your pre-enlistment physical, you denied any mental health history or concerns.  After boot camp, on 9 November 2015, you were issued a “Page 11” counseling warning documenting your medical evaluation, treatment, and diagnosis for an acute adjustment disorder.  You were advised that a failure to take corrective action may result in judicial or adverse administrative action, including administrative separation.  On 13 November 2015, you received a second Page 11 warning for your adjustment disorder, and you also acknowledged that you were being processed for administrative separation by reason convenience of the government (COG) due to a condition not a disability that interferes with the performance of duty. 
 
Following your second Page 11 counseling entry, your command initiated administrative discharge action by reason of COG due to condition not a disability.  The administrative 
separation notification and statement of awareness documentation is not in your service record.  However, the Board relies on a presumption of regularity to support the official actions of public officers and, in the absence of substantial evidence to rebut the presumption, to include evidence submitted by the Petitioner, the Board presumes that you were properly processed for separation and discharged from the Marine Corps for a condition not a disability with the factual basis for your discharge being your diagnosed adjustment disorder.  On 2 December 2015, the at  approved and directed your separation with an uncharacterized discharge by reason of COG due to condition not a disability.  On 8 December 2015, you were discharged with an uncharacterized discharge and assigned an RE-04 reentry code.  In this regard, you were assigned the correct characterization and reentry code based on your factual situation as you were still within your first 180 days of continuous military service.  On 9 January 2017, the Naval Discharge Review Board reviewed your discharge and determined that no change was warranted and your discharge was proper as issued. 
 
The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your contentions that an adjustment disorder is a short term temporary issue and that the RE-3G reentry code matches the narrative of your discharge.  However, the Board concluded these factors were not sufficient to warrant changing your reentry code or granting any other relief.  The Board also noted that the RE-3G reentry code is only applicable for Navy service members and does not apply in the Marine Corps.  Even assuming arguendo that if the Marine Corps used an RE-3G or other equivalent reentry code, the Board determined that your assigned RE-04 code was proper.  Accordingly, based on the totality of the circumstances, the Board concluded that you received the correct discharge type, characterization, and reentry code, and that such action was in accordance with all Department of the Navy directives and policy at the time of your discharge. 
 
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
