					2 NAVY ANNEX
                                                                              WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

					     Docket No: 10286-02
										     5 August 2003

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 5 August 2003. 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, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. US Code Title 10, Section 6334 provides that individuals who held a higher paygrade and were administratively reduced through no fault of their own may be advanced to the highest grade in which he served on active duty satisfactorily, as determined by the Secretary of the Navy. This provision pertains to individuals who are transferred to the Fleet Reserve on or after 4 December 1987. Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

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 and material evidence or other matter not previously 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.

Enclosure
Sincerely,
10 § 6333
