BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No: 2118-18 
Ref: Signature Date 

Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of Title 10, United States Code, section 1552. After careful and conscientious 
consideration of the entire record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to 
establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. Consequently, your application 
has been denied. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 30 January 2019. The names and votes of the members of the 
panel will be furnished upon request. 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, relevant portions of your naval record, and 
applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 

The Board carefully considered your desire to remove the Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 
6105 counseling entry dated 26 April 2011 from your official military personnel file (OMPF). 
The Board considered your contentions that the entry is unjust because it is written in the first 
person, and your for you not to elect to make a statement. The Board, however, noted that you signed the entry and elected not to submit a rebuttal. Moreover, the record does not contain evidence, and you submitted none, to support your contention regarding your . In addition, the Board noted that the fact that the entry is written in the first person does not render it in error or unjust, and you have pointed to no authority to the contrary. Therefore, the Board was not persuaded with your contentions and determined that the contested entry was administratively and procedurally correct as written and filed, and did not constitute an error or injustice. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken 
at this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of 
new and material evidence. New evidence is evidence 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, 

3/14/2019 


Executive Director
