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 February 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.  In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in NAVPERS memo 5420 PERS 806 of 7 Jul 20 and your response to the opinion.   
    
You requested your date of rank to be changed from 1 October 2018 to 1 July 2018.  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 were not eligible for condsideration for the Fiscal Year (FY) 18 All Fully Qualified Officers List (AFQL).  Therefore, your current date of rank of 1 October 2018 is correct.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
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,
