DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
 
Docket No: 4322-20 
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.
 
The Board carefully considered your request to remove an Administrative Remarks page 11 6105 entry you received on 19 March 2015 and a unit punishment book (UPB) entry of 19 March 2015, documenting your non-judicial punishment (NJP) for violating Articles 92 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). You accepted NJP for departing the Marine     residence during curfew and drinking until becoming heavily intoxicated. You argue that the page 11 and UPB entry should be removed as you have had good conduct and have been promoted and re-enlisted since the incident. 

The Board noted that you voluntarily accepted NJP and you chose not to appeal the imposition of NJP. In addition, you did not provide a rebuttal to the page 11. The Board determined that the evidence provided does not overcome the presumption of regularity to prove that the action taken in your case, to impose NJP, was improper. The Board further determined that your commanding officer properly utilized the page 11 entry to inform you of an identified deficiency. The Board thus concluded that your NJP and page 11 counseling do not constitute material error or injustice warranting removal from your record and both shall remain in your official military personnel file as written. 

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
