From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records To: Secretary of the Navy Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD OF , USN, XX-XX- Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. § 1552 (b) Navy Physical Readiness Program Guide 11 (c) Navy Physical Readiness Program Guide 1 Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments (2) OPNAV N170 memo of 20 Nov 20 1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting her naval record be corrected by changing her Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) record to reflect Cycle 1-2019 physical fitness assessment (PFA) results. 2. The Board, consisting of Mr., Mr. and Mr. reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 27 August 2021 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined 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 records, 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 as follows: a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulation within the Department of the Navy. b. Petitioner contends the Command Fitness Leader (CFL) erred by not entering her PFA scores into PRIMS for Cycle 1-2019. Specifically, she contends that after failing a portion of the Physical Readiness Test (PRT) on 9 May 2019, she immediately submitted a “bad day” chit in accordance with reference (b), requesting retesting. On 23 May 2019, Petitioner contends she passed all portions of the PRT, however, the CFL did not input results in PRIMS, as required by reference (c), for either the 9 May 2019 or 23 May 2019 PRT. In support of her request for relief, Petitioner submitted email correspondence between herself and her previous command, and correspondence between her gaining/current command and OPNAV N170 regarding the missing PFA results for Cycle 1-2019. c. In an advisory opinion (AO) at enclosure (2), OPNAV N170 determined it would take no action to change the record. The AO noted Petitioner’s gaining command submitted a Letter of Correction per reference (c) with the exception of providing a copy of the official Body Composition Assessment. The AO further noted the original scores submitted with the LOC were from the 9 May 2019 PRT and the cardio score is unreadable. OPNAV N170 determined that, in order to update Petitioner’s PRIMS record, official legible scoresheets for Cycle 1-2019 must be provided. d. Reference (b) details the service member’s responsibilities with respect to “bad day” procedures and PFA record verification. Specifically, a service member must request a “bad day” within 24 hours of completing the PRT. Additionally, a service member has up to 60 days after a PFA cycle to verify that her PRIMS PFA record is accurate. Further, a member should address all PRIMS data issues with the CFL prior to leaving the command. e. Reference (c) details the administrative duties and responsibilities for the CFL. Of note, the CFL is required to enter all data for a PFA semi-annual cycle into PRIMS within 30 days of completion of the command’s PFA cycle. Further, CFLs are responsible for the integrity and accuracy of the database and are required to retain all written documentation of official command PFAs for a period of five years. f. A review of Petitioner’s evaluation report for the period 16 November 2018 to 24 June 2019 indicates a “N” in block 20/Physical Readiness which corresponds to “no PFA conducted during reporting period.” Further, the report does not contain any indication Petitioner failed the PRT. CONCLUSION Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board determined Petitioner’s request warrants relief. The Board, noting the requirements of reference (c), determined the failure of the original CFL unjustly resulted in PFA scores for Cycle 1-2019 not being properly input into PRIMS. The Board further noted Petitioner’s email conversations with the Command Master Chief and other personnel at her original command which originated within the timeline requirements of reference (b) and the repeated attempts by her gaining command to correspond with the original command, and concluded Petitioner exercised all her available avenues in her attempt to correct her PRIMS record. Further, the Board noted Petitioner’s evaluation report does not contain any indication she did not pass the PRT and based on this information, coupled with the email correspondence regarding the make-up PRT, the Board concluded Petitioner passed the make-up PRT despite the inability of the original CFL to provide the official score sheet. Although Petitioner was willing to have the 9 May 2019 PRT scores, even though the scores represent a failure, input into PRIMS so she did not have an incomplete PRIMS record, the Board, determined it was unjust for it to direct corrective action that would negatively impact Petitioner. The Board also noted the 9 May 2019 PRT scores are not fully readable. Further, without the 23 May 2019 PRT score sheet, the Board concluded there was no available remedy that would allow for PRT scores to be input into PRIMS. Noting an incomplete PRIMS record would potentially harm Petitioner’s future promotion opportunities, the Board determined that, in the interest of justice and in light of the original CFL’s cataclysmic program mismanagement, Petitioner’s PRIMS record shall reflect that she was excused from the Cycle 1-2019 PFA. RECOMMENDATION In view of the above, the Board directs the following corrective action. Petitioner’s naval record be corrected by modifying her PRIMS record to reflect she was excused from the Cycle 1-2019 PFA. Any material or entries inconsistent with or relating to the Board’s recommendation be corrected, removed, or completely expunged from Petitioner’s record, and that no such entries or material be added to the record in the future. This includes, but is not limited to, all information systems or database entries that reference or discuss the expunged material. 4. It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above-entitled matter. 5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)), and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy. 8/31/2021 Executive Director
