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

Docket No: 4175-20 
Ref: Signature Date 

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 11 May 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 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, as well as the 14 July 2020 advisory opinion (AO) furnished by the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) (PERS-32). The AO was provided to you on 21 July 2020, and you were given 30 days in which to submit a response. When you did not provide a response, your case was submitted to the Board for consideration. 

The Board carefully considered your request to remove your fitness report for the reporting period 1 November 2012 to 28 February 2014 and to modify your fitness report for the reporting period 1 March 2014 to 15 June 2014 by changing block 14 ‘Period of Report From’ to 14 June 2013, adding ‘P’ to block 20, and changing block 29 to include PFA: 13-2/14-1. The Board considered your contentions that your fitness report for the reporting period 1 November 2012 to 28 February 2014 was issued to establish your Performance Mark Average (PMA), the report is not necessary because your PMA was established during the previous evaluation period, and your report overlaps a fitness report for the reporting period 1 November 2012 to 15 June 2013. 

The Board noted that PERS-32 approved the correction to your record by removing your fitness report for the reporting period 1 November 2012 to 28 February 2014. Regarding your fitness report for the reporting period 1 March 2014 to 15 June 2015, the Board substantially concurred with the AO’s determination that the changes to your fitness report are administrative and supplemental changes. Accordingly, the AO recommended that you obtain a supplemental change letter from your original reporting senior (RS) and submit an administrative change letter to correct block 14, which you did on 21 August 2020. The Board also noted the untimely submission of your request, as a result, the Board acknowledged that a supplement change letter from your original RS may be difficult to obtain. The Board found no evidence of your Physical Fitness Assessment and you provided none. Accordingly, the Board concluded that there is no probable material error, substantive inaccuracy, or injustice warranting further corrective action. 

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 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, 
5/17/2021
