  This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the                                provision of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 28 November 2006. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable o 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 application statutes, regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered an advisory opinion furnished by Headquarters Man e Corps, a copy of which is enclosed.

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 n 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 11 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 o injustice.

Enclosure
Sincerely
