Dear ,  
 
This 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 relevant portions of your naval record and your application, 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 11 August 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. 
 
You requested advancement to Cryptologic Technician Technical Second Class (CTT2)/E-5.  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  The Board concluded that you did not meet the eligibility criteria outlined in Bureau of Naval Personnel Instruction 1430.16F.  Specifically, the policy indicated a request for advancement determination must be submitted within 6-months of affiliating with the Navy Reserve.  A review of your record indicates you were selected for advancement to CTT2/E-5 from the September 2015 Cycle 228 Navy Wide Advancement Examination with an effective date of 16 June 2016.  However, you were released from active duty and transferred to the Navy Reserve on 4 June 2016; before the effective date of your established advancement date.  The Board found no evidence, nor did you provide proof of submitting the request for advancement determination within the aforementioned prescribed time, thereby rendering you ineligible for advancement to CTT2.  
 
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken.  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,
