Docket No. 2760-16 

Dear , 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 USC 1552. Your case was reconsidered in accordance with new Board for 
Correction ofNaval Records procedures that conform to Lipsman v. Secretary of the Army, 335 
F. Supp. 2d 48 (D.D.C. 2004). You were previously denied by the Board on 10 March 2015. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 22 August 2016. Your allegations oferror 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 by NPC memo 1430 
Ser 812/0227 dated 7 June 2016, was sent to you on 21July2016 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 determined that the 
memo from the , that you provided, even though not previously considered by the Board, was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the 
comments contained in the advisory opinion. In accordance with references (b) and ( c) of the 
enclosure, advancement to is not authorized without completion ofthe 
and there are no provisions to waive this requirement. A review ofyour 
recent application and its attachments reveal that again your request must be denied. In the 
absence of sufficiently material evidence for reconsideration, the decision ofthe 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
