The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings: 
 
     a.  On 21 February 2020 Petitioner rented one-way U-Haul equipment in  with a delivery due date of 24 February 2020, .  Petitioner provided fuel receipts and weight tickets for 22 February 2020 in  and .

CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.
