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

Docket No. 516-16 
JUL 8 -2016 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your application for correction 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 25 May 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 ofyour 
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 NPC memo 1780 PERS-312 of 15 March 2016, a copy ofwhich was 
provided to you on 20 March 2016, and is being provided to you now. Additionally, the Board 
considered your response to the advisory opinion dated 3 April 2016. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board fol!nd that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or 
injustice. In making this determination, the Board concurred with the comments contained in the 
advisory opinion. Specifically, the Board found that Block 3 of your DD Form 4 
(Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces ofthe United States) and Block 4 ofthe DD 
Form 1966/l (Record ofMilitary Processing) both reflect that your Home ofRecord (HOR) is 
The Board further found and concurred with the Joint Travel Regulations, Vol. 2, 
App. A 1 that "Only if a break in service exceeds one full day may the member change the 
HOR." You did not have any break in service which would have facilitated changing your HOR. 
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and votes ofthe members of the 
panel will be furnished upon request. 

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 ofnew evidence 
within one year from the date ofthe Board's decision. New evidence is evidence not previously 
considered by the Board prior to making its decision in this case. 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 ofan official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to 
demonstrate the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
