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



This letter is in reference to your reconsideration request. You previously petitioned the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) and were advised that your application had been disapproved. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Sec'y of the Army, 335 F. Supp. 2d 48 (D.D.C. 2004). 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 . 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. Docwnentary 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.
 
You requested to receive an extension of your household goods (HHG) shipping entitlements. The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially 
it also stated that if more time was required you should request further extension before this time expired. On , after more than 3 years since your extension expiration date, you 
requested a one-year extension due to being in active medical treatment for service connected disabilities. Unfortunately, you were disapproved due to not falling under the provisions of the Joint Travel Regulations "An extension of the 1-year time limit prescribed in par. U5130-Bl may be authorized/approved by the Secretarial Process for a period NTE [Not to exceed] six years when an unexpected event beyond the member's control prevents the member from moving to the HOS within the specified time limit." The Board did not find any evidence that you 
submitted any further requests for an extension prior to , well beyond the authority to approve an additional extension for any reason. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your reconsideration petition are such that favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149. New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board. In the absence of new matters for reconsideration, the decision of the Board is final, and your only recourse would be to seek relief, at no cost to the Board, from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. 
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.
