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

Docket No: 2405-16/ 9644-14 

MAR 01 2017 

Dear

This is in reference to your latest reconsideration request dated 16 February 2016. You 
previously petitioned the Board on 12 June 2014 and were advised in our letter that your 
application had been disapproved. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board for 
Correction ofNaval Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary ofthe Army, 335 
F.Supp.2d 48 (D.D.C 2004). 

Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel ofthe Board for 
Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session on 6 January 2017. 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 of 
your application. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board determined your 
new statement was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 
A review ofyour recent application reveals that again your request must be denied. The Board 
gave liberal consideration to your statement and your contention that you were unjustly 
discharged from the Navy without a separation evaluation or compensation pay. The Board 
concluded that these factors were not sufficient to warrant recharacterization ofyour discharge 
due to your misconduct. The Board further concluded that there is documented evidence in your 
record that is contrary to your assertion that you did not receive a final performance evaluation. 
The Board noted an administrative entry in your service record which stated you refused to sign 
an evaluation covering 2 November 2012 through 15 June 2013. This evaluation was later 
extended by letter to include the time between 16 June 2013 and your discharge. Accordingly, 
the Board concurs with the previous Board decision and your application must again be denied. 

As stated in the earlier denial letter, the Board believes that, based on your separation code of 
JGH, you may be eligible for half separation pay. Whether or not you are eligible is a matter 
under the cognizance of Commanding Officer, 

You may wish to submit your requestby using the attached Application for Arrears in Pay (DD Form 827), or online at 
www.dfas.mil/debtandclaims/submitclaim. However, ifyou receive unfavorable results from 
DFAS, your case may be reopened upon request to reconsider the separation pay issue. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour case are such that favorable action cannot be taken. 
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
