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.     
 
Because your application was submitted with new evidence not previously considered, the Board found it in the interest of justice to review your application.  Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel, sitting in executive session on 2 December 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 the 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, to include the 25 July 2018 guidance from the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness regarding equity, injustice or clemency determinations (Wilkie Memo). 
 
You previously petitioned the Board and were advised that your applications had been denied.  Your case was reconsidered as you presented statements regarding your discharge from naval service as new evidence.  You contend your youth, lack of education, few social skills, and lack of guidance contributed to the mistakes you made.  You further contend you were coerced, and accepted your discharge under duress.  You contend racism, and bigotry contributed your characterization of service.  You contend you have been a productive member of society since your discharge.  The Board reviewed all materials you submitted with your application.  After careful consideration of your statements and the evidence submitted with you application, the Board determined that the evidence that you provided, even though not previously considered by the Board, was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.   
 
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,
