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

Docket No: 5062-16 
FEB 01 2017 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, silting in executive session, considered your application on 28 November 2016. The names and votes of the members ofthe panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this 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. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion furnished by Headquarters Marine Corps (MMRP-13/PERB), dated 24 May 2016 (AO), a copy of which was previously sent to you on 24 May 2016. 

After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. In this regard, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the AO. Specifically, the Board was not persuaded by the advocacy letters to increase the marks ofeither report. The Board felt that the PERB took the appropriate corrective actions by adjusting the Section H marks to "E" vice "H" on the contested report for the period ending 31 May 20 I 5. Ultimately, the Board concluded that the contested reports were all administratively and procedurally correct as written and modified by PERB, and filed. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour case are such that favorable action cannot be taken. You are 
entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and material evidence or other 
matters not previously considered by the Board within one year from the date of the Board's decision. 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 ofan official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to 
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
