Docket No. 311-07
14 March 2007

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 13 March 2007. 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 NPC Memo 1160 Ser 4811/086 dtd 22 Feb 07, 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

1.	In response to reference (a), recommend disapproval to the petitioner’s request.

2.	The petitioner reenlisted for five years on 10 May 2006 upon completion of NEC 8752 training. The petitioner’s EAOS at the time of reenlistment was 21 January 2007. Reference (c) released on 05 July
2006 added a zone “A” SRB award level for NEC 8752. The petitioner zone “A” SRB entitlement for current reenlistment.
