       (2) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to reflect advancement to LS2/E-5 via the September 2018 Cycle 240 Navy Wide Advancement Examination (NWAE). 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of,    reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 15 September 2020 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 
 
3.  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.  In December 2017, Petitioner was awarded a Flag Letter of Commendation (FLOC). 
 
     b.  In June 2018, Petitioner was awarded a FLOC. 
 
     c.  In September 2018, Petitioner participated in the Cycle 240 NWAE and passed not advanced (PNA’d). 
 
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  Petitioner was awarded two FLOCs totaling two advancement points per reference (b).  However, the points were not accounted for at the time Petitioner participated in the September 2018 (Cycle 240) NWAE.  Although Petitioner did not complete the proper administrative requirements, the Board felt that under these circumstances, relief is warranted.
