BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001

Docket No. 6332-16 
JUN 12 2017 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour 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 March 2017. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 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 of your application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, 
regulations and policies. The advisory opinions provided in HQMC memo 5420 MMEA dated 
30 November 2016 and HQMC memo 1070 MIQ dated 14 December 2016 ("AO"), which was 
sent to you on 13 January 2017 for an opportunity to comment prior to being considered by the 
Board. The Board considered the witness statements attached to your response to the advisory 
opinions. 

The Board considered your desire to have the Administrative Remarks (Page 11) counseling 
dated 20 February 2015, the Relief for Cause from Duty, and a transfer (TR) 
fitness report for the reporting period 1 April 2015 to 6 May 2015 removed from your record. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or 
injustice. In this regard, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the 
A Os. 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 the submission of 
new and material evidence. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board. 
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 ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
