Corps, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting the removal ofhis Administrative Remarks 
(Page 11) 6105 counseling dated 5 August 2010 from his Official Military Personnel File. · 
Enclosures (1) through (4) apply. 

2. The Board, consisting of  reviewed 
Petitioner's allegations oferror and injustice on 16 March 2017, and pursuant to its regulations, 
determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence 
ofrecord. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofthe enclosures, naval 
records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. In addition, the Board considered 
enclosure (A). Regarding his request for a personal appearance, the Board determined a personal 
appearance was not necessary and considered his case based on the, evidence ofrecord. 

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts ofrecord pertaining to Petitroµer'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 ofthe Navy. 

b. On 5 August 2010, Petitioner was issued a Page 11, 6105 counseling concerning his 
performance after graduating from Drill Instructor School in March 2010. The Page 11 entry 
also stated, in part "This Battalion has implemented a relief package for the Good ofthe Service 
at this time. Once approved you will be sent back to your primary MOS where none and I repeat 
none ofthese issues were presented to your former command prior to you attending DI School." 
Petitioner elected to submit a statement in response to the Page 11 entry but, according to his 
application, his rebuttal was not sent in with the counseling for inclusion in his OMPF. 

c. Petitioner submitted the summary ofaction for the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement 
Medal he received at the end ofhis Drill Instructor tour. 

d. Enclosure ( 4), an advisory opinion by Headquarter Marine Corps states, in part, that 
Petitioner was not relieved from drill instructor duty as the Page 11 entry states. Petitioner 
continued as a drill instructor for the complete tour and earned multiple performance based 
awards. Enclosure (4) concludes the Page 11 entry is unjust in nature and recommended 
approval ofPetitioner's request to have the entry removed from his OMPF. 

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration ofall the evidence ofrecord, and especially in light ofenclosure 
( 4), the Board concludes Petitioner's request warrants favorable action. 

The Board concludes Petitioner was not removed from drill instructor duty but remained in the 
billet until completion ofthe tour ofduty and excelled as a drill instructor as recognized in his 
end oftour award summary ofaction.
