Dear  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code.  After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted 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 15 April 2021.  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 the 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.   
 
The Board carefully considered your request to remove your 30 October 2017 Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 6105 counseling entry, and the issuing officer’s recommendation that it be removed.  The Board considered your contention that you never made any contact with the person you allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with, and that you have not let the Page 11 affect your performance or your character. 
 
The Board noted that you did not sufficiently demonstrate that your commanding officer lacked the required understanding of the facts and circumstances surrounding the subject matter of the counseling when the counseling was issued.  Next, the Board determined that the entry met the 6105 counseling requirements detailed in MCO 1900.16 (MARCORSEPMAN).  Specifically, the Board noted that the entry provided written notification concerning your deficiencies, specific recommendations for corrective action indicating any assistance available, a comprehensive explanation of the consequences of failure to successfully take the recommended corrective action, and a reasonable opportunity to undertake the recommended corrective action.  You were afforded the opportunity to rebut the counseling, and your rebuttal was also filed in your official military personnel file (OMPF) in accordance with MCO P1070.12K.  
Lastly, the Board determined that the entry is not unjust solely based on the passage of time or subsequent good performance.  The Board thus concluded that the Page 11 entry does not constitute probable material error or injustice warranting removal from your OMPF. 
 
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. 
 
 
Sincerely, 

4/25/2021
Executive Director
