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

DocketNo: 1382-16 


Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your record pursuant to the provisions of 
Title 10, 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 29 June 2016. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe panel 
will be furnished upon request. 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. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinions furnished by 
Headquarters Maine Corps, copies of which are attached. 

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. In this regard, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the 
advisory opinions, which stated in part, that the commanding officer properly imposed 
nonjudicial punishment (NJP), issued the Page 11, and a Commandant of the Marine Corp 
directed fitness report documenting the NJP in accordance with procedural requirements. 
Accordingly, your application has beeh denied. 

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 ofnew and material 
evidence within one year from the date ofthe 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
