Ref: Signature date 

Dear  
 
This letter is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552.  After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied. 
 
Although your application was not filed in a timely manner, the Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and consider your application on its merits.  A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 7 November 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, as well as applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 
 
You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 22 October 2003.  Your service record contains a 21 June 2009 counseling entry (Page 13) informing you that your service record would be transferred to Naval Personnel Command (NPC), (PERS-912), Millington, TN and acknowledging your post-active duty mailing address as:     That same day you were released from active duty and transferred to the Naval Reserve at the completion of your required active service.  Your contemporaneously issed Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty (DD Form 214) reflects that you were discharged with an honorable characterization of service, and a reentry (RE) code of RE-1.  On 9 September 2010, you submitted name change information to NPC.  On 21 October 2011, you were discharged from the Naval Reserve (Inactive) with an honorable characterization of service and you were not recommended for reenlistment. 
 
You request the Board correct your record to remove the remark “not recommended for reenlistment” from your Naval Reserve discharge and reinstate your active duty discharge RE code, RE-1.  You assert that you are currently in the process of trying to enlist into the officer nursing program and were informed that you were not recommended for reenlistment due to missing drill time.  You claim that you were never contacted to drill as a reservist after your active duty discharge date.  In support of your contention, you attached a copy of your W-2 form for 2011, when you employed at   The form lists your address at the time as:    The Board found no error in the records.  With respect to your contention, the Board noted that prior to your release from active duty and transfer to the Naval Reserve, you provided your post-service address in  not  and there is no evidence that you submitted an address change to NPC. 
 
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 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 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.
