Encl: (1) DD Form 149 with attachments 
(2) Case summary 
(3) Subject's naval record (excerpts) 

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, an 
enlisted member of the Marine Corps, filed enclosure (1) with 
this Board requesting removal from her record, a Page 11 
counseling entry dated 30 July 2014. Enclosures (1) through (3) 
apply. 

2. The Board, consisting of , and 
reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on 
22 January 2016, and pursuant to its regulations, determined 
that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on 
the available evidence of record. Documentary material 
considered by the Board consisted of enclosures (1) through (3), 
naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and 
policies. 

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record 
pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice 
finds as follows: 

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all 
administrative remedies available under existing law and 
regulations within the Department of the Navy. 

b. Enclosure (1) was filed in a timely manner. 

c. On 30 July 2014, Petitioner received a Page 11 
counseling entry for two specifications of violating Article 134 
of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) by knowingly and 
willingly fraternizing with two subordinate Marines. 

d. Petitioner submitted with her application to the Board a 
statement from her commanding officer, also the issuing officer, 
attesting to the fact that, after further inquiry and review of 
the evidence, he determined that the Page 11 entry was issued in 
error and that it is factually inaccurate. He further 
recommended that the Page 11 counseling entry that he issued be 
removed from her record. 

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the 
Board concluded that Petitioner's request warrants relief by 
removing the Page 11 counseling entry dated 30 July 2014. In 
this regard, the Board significantly concurred with the 
recommendation from her commanding officer, also the issuing 
officer, that the entry should be removed. Specifically, the 
board believed that, after further inquiry and a review of the 
evidence provided, her commanding officer determined that 
Petitioner was not in violation of the UCMJ and should not have 
received the counseling entry. 

In view of the above, the Board directs the following corrective 
action. 

RECOMMENDATION: 

a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected by removing 
the Page 11 counseling entry dated 30 July 2014. 

b. That any material or entries inconsistent with or 
relating to the Board's recommendation be corrected, removed or 
completely expunged from Petitioner's record and that no such 
entries or material be added to the record in the future. 

4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the 
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal 
Regulations, Section 723.6(c) it is certified that a quorum was 
present at the Board's review and deliberations, and that the 
foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board's 
proceedings in the above entitled matter. 

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 
6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of 
Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulation, Section 723.6(e)) 
and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby 
announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the 
authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on 
behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
