DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No: 8231-16 
FEB 05 £017 

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 of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 4 November 201 6. The names and votes of the members of the 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 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. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion furnished by Headquarters Marine Corps (MMRP-13/PERB), dated 15 September 2016, a copy ofwhich was previously sent to you on 15 September 2016. 

After careful consideration ofthe 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 advisory opinion. Specifically, the records reflect that you were in fact serving in the billet of Deputy Family Readiness Officer (DFRO) during the contested reporting period. Although the Board concurred that you likely completed additional duties during the reporting period, your primary responsibility and billet description was appropriately listed on the report as DFRO. The Board was not persuaded to conclude that you should have been rated as the Utilities Maintenance Chief instead of the DFRO. Additionally, the Board concluded that the contested report was administratively and procedurally correct as written and filed. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your 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 EGA Docket No: 8231-16 
regularity 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
