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

Docket No. 2039-16 
NOV 16 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 of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 30 August 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 letter 5730 
Ser 91/087 dated 6 July 2016 was sent to you on 25 July 2016 for an opportunity to comment 
prior to being considered by the Board. A copy ofthis 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 ofthe entire record, the Board found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or 
injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in 
the advisory opinion. From 10 May 1978 through 9 May 1980, the records show that you did not 
complete the necessary requirements of obtaining 50 points per anniversary year to obtain a 
satisfactory year and this is why no credit was given for each ofthese anniversary years. You 
took the exam in January. The records show you were not selected for advancement. No proof 
was provided showing selection, being frocked, or advanced in grade. You were then transferred 
to the Temporary Disabled Retired List (TDRL) on 30 January 1992. Lastly there was no proof 
provided to show any error contained within your record which indicates that any service 
performed has not been credited. The records indicate that there was not a break in service from 
15 December 1969 through30 January 1992 with 19 years ofqualifying service. Accordingly, 
your application has been denied. The names and votes ofthe members of the panel will be 
furnished upon request. 

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 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 of an official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to 
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
