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

Docket No. 5077-16 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for corection of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC § 1552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 9 May 2017. The names and votes ofthe members of the panel will be furnished upon request. 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 ofyour application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. The Board also reviewed the advisory opinion (AO) provided by the Physical Readiness Program Office Director (OPNAV N 170) dated 10 November 2016, which was previously provided to you. 

Your Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) record shows you as being on unauthorized absence from Cycle l, 2014, Physical Fitness Assessment (PF A). You provided a memorandum from your current command dated 7 March 2015, which states, in part, that you did take and passed the aforementioned PF A. Additionally, you contend that your previous NOSC did not enter your passed score into PRIMS. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record and application, the Board found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. You requested that your Cycle l, 2014 PFA be corrected in PRIMS. The Board, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your assertion that you took the PFA. In this regard, the Board substantially concurred with the comments and reasoning contained in the AO. The Board agreed with the policy outlined in OPNAVINST 6110.1 J that the original PFA score sheets are the only acceptable documented evidence of PFA results. 
Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour case are such that favorable action cannot be taken at this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new evidence. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption ofregularity 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
