Docket No. 1143-16 

NOV 28 2016 

Dear , 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 USC 1552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 26 September 2016. 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 ofyour 
application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. The advisory opinions provided by NSSC letter 
4050 SerN42/033 dated 3 May 2016 and NSSC letter 4050 Ser N42/058 dated 8 August 2016, 
were sent to you on 12 May 2016 and 22 August 2016, respectively,.for an opportunity to 
comment prior to being considered by the Board. Copies of these advisory opinions are again 
enclosed. Additionally, the Board considered your response to the first Advisory Opinion dated 
27 May2016. 

In regard to your request for a personal appearance, be advised that the Board regulations state 
personal appearances before the Board are not granted as a right, but only when the Board 
determines that such an appearance will serve some useful purpose. In your case, the Board 
determined that a personal appearance was not necessary and considered your case based on the 
evidence of the record. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or 
injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in 
the advisory opinions. The Board concluded that you were paid in accordance with tlie Joint 
Travel Regulation (JTR) and that you are not entitled to additional monies that were estimated 
based on your calculations ofweight being moved. Accordingly, your application has been 
denied. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 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 within one year from the date of the Board's decision. New evidence is evidence not 
previously considered by the Board prior to making its decision in your case. 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 ofan official naval record, the burden is on the 
applicant to demonstrate the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
