Docket No. 23-18 

JUN 1 9 2018 


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

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 10 April 2018. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe panel 
will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferror and injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofyour application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions ofyour naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

You requested to change your home ofrecord (HOR). The Board, in its reviewofyour entire 
record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your 
assertions. Nevertheless, the Board concluded that your home ofrecord at time ofentry was 

On or about 20 July 2017 your household 
goods (HHG) were delivered to the destination you requested; to the 
transportation service provider (TSP) storage facility to await final delivery. The Board agreed 
with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) in that the HOR may only be changed ifthere is a break 
in service that exceeds one full day. The Board also agreed that upon your retirement, you had 
the option to select a home of selection (HOS) other than your HOR. The HOS can also be the 
HOR and once the place selected by the service member as the home upon retirement, that 
selection is irrevocable iftransportation in-kind is furnished and used or iftravel and 
transportation allowances are received after travel is completed. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour 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 ofregularity 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 ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
