Personality disorders.

The following personality disorders are causes for rejection of membership:
(1) Character and behavior disorders, as evidenced by:
(a) Frequent encounters with law enforcement agencies, or anti-social attitudes or behavior which, while not a cause for administrative rejection, are tangible evidence of an impaired characterological capacity to adapt to the service;
(b) Sexual deviant practices such as exhibitionism, transvestism, voyeurism, etc;
(c) Chronic alcoholism or alcohol addiction;
(d) Drug use or addiction;
(2) Character and behavior disorders where it is evident by history and objective examination that the degree of immaturity, instability, personality inadequacy, and dependency will seriously interfere with adjustment in the service as demonstrated by repeated inability to maintain reasonable adjustment in school, with employers and fellow workers, and other society groups;
(3) Other symptomatic immaturity reactions such as authenticated evidence of enuresis which is habitual or persistent, not due to an organic condition occurring beyond early adolescence (age twelve to fourteen) and stammering or stuttering of such a degree that the individual is normally unable to express himself clearly or to repeat commands;
(4) Specific learning defects secondary to organic or functional mental disorders.
