Docket No. 510-06
10 May 06

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 9 May 2006. 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, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion furnished by HQMC memorandum 1560 MRRV of 10 March 2006, a copy of which is attached.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

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 submission of new and material evidence or other matter not previously 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,

W.	DEAN PFEIFFER
 Executive Director

MEMORANDUM FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS

Subj:	BCNR APPLICATION IN  THE CASE  OF XXXXXXXX

Master Sergeant xxxxx   states that the briefing he received regarding the Montgomery CI Bill (MGIB) at recruit training was incomplete and swayed his thinking to not take advantage of the program. He is requesting the opportunity to enroll in the MGIB Program.

The DD Form 2366 Master Sergeant xxxxxx  signed, states that he understands that he is eligible for the MGIB, that he will be automatically enrolled, but if he elects to dis-enroll, “the option to enroll will not be available at a later date.”

Based on the information provided, this office recommends that Master Sergeant not be given the opportunity to enroll into the MGIB program.

My point of contact for the MGIB is Mr. Xxx  at commercial (703) 784-9550 or DSN 278-9550
