DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY  
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS  
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001  
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490  
Docket No.20 11-16  
SEP 05 2017  

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 of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 24 May 2017. The names and votes of the members of the 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 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. The Board also considered the advisory opinion (AO) provided by HQMC memo 1070 MIQ dated 22 March 2017, a copy of which was previously provided to you on 4 April 2017 for an opportunity to comment prior to being considered by the Board. After the 30-day period for comments expired without a response from you, 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 of probable material error or injustice. In this regard, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the AO. Furthermore, you have failed to provide any information/documentation to. support your removal ofthe contested Page 11 entry. Per the entry, your CO was obviously concerned with your performance as a Defense Travel System (DTS) Approving Official (AO) and coordinator of the Government Travel Card (GTC) coordinator and the effects ofyour oversights not only on the unit but on individual Marines. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

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 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 of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
