(3)	Subject’s naval record

1.	Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) , Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that his naval record be corrected by removing the service record page lie (“Administrative Remarks (1070)”) entry dated 10 May 2005 (copy in enclosure (1) at Tab A).

2.	The Board, consisting of Messrs. Neuschafer, Novello and Zsalman, reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 7 September 2006, and pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken of the available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

3.	The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, finds as follows:

a.	Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b.	In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the Headquarters Marine Corps Manpower Information Operations, Manpower Management Information Systems Division has commented to the effect that Petitioner’s request has merit and warrants favorable action.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the content of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following relief:

RECOMMENDATION:

a.	That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected by removing the service record page lie (“Administrative Remarks (1070)”) entry dated 10 May 2005. This is to be accomplished by physically removing the page 11e on which the entry appears, or completely obliterating the entry so it cannot be read, rather than merely drawing a line through the entry.

b.	That any material or entries inconsistent with or relating to the Board’s recommendation be corrected, removed or completely expunged from Petitioner’s record and that no such entries or material be added to the record in the future.

c.	That any material directed to be removed from Petitioner’s naval record be returned to the Board, together with a copy of this Report of Proceedings, for retention in a confidential file maintained for such purpose, with no cross reference being made a part of Petitioner’s naval record.

4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(c)) it is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter.
