Docket No: 9426-19
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 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, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 19 November 2020.  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 also considered the 22 October 2019 advisory opinion (AO) furnished by the Physical Readiness Program Section (OPNAV N170), which was previously provided to you.  Although you were afforded an opportunity to submit a rebuttal, you did not do so. 
 
The Board carefully considered your request to correct your Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) record to reflect “pass” vice “incomplete.”  The Board considered your contention that PRIMS record reflects “incomplete” for your Cycle 2-15 physical fitness assessment (PFA) because your command at the time failed to input the information.  You assert that you did pass both the physical readiness test (PRT) and body composition (BCA) for that cycle.  The Board, however, substantially concurred with the AO.  In this regard, Board noted that the evidence you provided was not sufficient to change your PRIMS record.  Specifically, there is no date or observer signature on the PRT scoresheet, as required by the N170 Operating Guide 1. 
 
You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon 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 attachés 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,
