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

Docket No: 1339-16 

APR 5 2016 

Dear

This is in reference to your iatest reconsideration request 
dated 6 January 2016. You previously petitioned the Board and 
were advised in our letter dated 30 July 2012 that your 
application was disapproved. Your case waf3 reconside'red in 
accorqance with Board for Correction of Naval Records procedures 
that conform to Lipsman v. secretary of the Army, 33F.Supp.2d 48 
(D.D.C 2004). 

Because your application was submitted with new evidence not 
previously considered, the Board found it in the interest. of 
justice to review your most recent application based on the new 
evidence provided. In this regard, your current request has 
been carefully examined by a three-member panel of the Board for 
Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session on 
11 March 2016. The names and votes of the members of the panel 
will be furnished upon request. Documentary material considered 
by the.Board consisted of your application and any material 
submitted in support of your application. 

Regarding your request for a personal appearance, Board 
regulations state that 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 
record. 

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire 
record, the Board determined that the statements you provided, 
even though not previously considered by the Board, were 
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material 
error or injustice. A review of your recent application and 
attachment reveals that again your request must be denied. In 
this regard, the Board considered your assertion that you did 
not receive the certified mail containing the administrative 
separation process notification until 30 days after it was 
signed for by your-father. However, the Board found no evidence 
in the record, and you submitted none, to indicate why you 
failed to provide your unit with the monthly updates required to 
determine your line of duty eligibility status. Your failure to 
provide the monthly updates was the basis for your separation. 
Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

In the absence of sufficient material evidence for 
reconsideration, the decision of the Board is final, and your 
only recourse would be to initiate action, at no cost to the 
Board, to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. 

Sincerely, 
 
Executive Director
