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

Docket No: 2023-16/ 2034-96 

FEB 05 2017 

Dear 

This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request dated 8 February 2016. You previously 
petitioned the Board and were advised in our letter that your applications had been disapproved. 
Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board ofCorrection ofNaval Records 
procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary ofthe 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 ofjustice to review your application. Your current request has been 
carefully examined by a three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, 
sitting in executive session on 2 November 2016. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 
panel will be furnished upon request. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted 
ofyour application and any material submitted in support ofyour application. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board determined that the 
documentation that you provided, even though not previously considered by the Board, was 
insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. A review of your 
recent application and its attachments reveal that again your request must be denied. In this 
regard, the Board determined that your contention that your recruiter did not mark the correct 
box on your NAVCRUIT 1133/7, forced you to support this error by signing the agreement was 
not enough to grant relief in your request to change your reentry code. 

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 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 ofregularity 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
