BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No. 1303-16 
JUL 18 2016 


Dear , 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your 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 21 June 2016. Your allegations of error and injustice were 
reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the 
proceedings ofthis 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. The advisory opinion provided in NPC memo 1430 
SER 812/0159 dated 14 April 2016 was sent to you on 28 April 2016 for an opportunity to 
comment prior to being considered by the Board. A copy of this advisory opinion is again 
enclosed. After the 30 day period for comment expired without a response, the case was 
presented to the Board. 

After careful and conscientious consideration of the 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 opinion. In accordance with enclosure (2), you do not qualify to be waived from 
taking the Navy Wide Advancement Exam (NW AE). However, PERS 812 graded the 
Petitioner's January 2015 cycle 226 NWAE against the cycle missed. Furthermore, the 
Petitioner did not meet the minimum Final Multiple Score (FMS). 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 ofyour case are such that favorable action cannot be taken. 
You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new 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 this 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 of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
