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

Docket No: 827-16 
FEB O5 2017 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your a~plication for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the provisions 
ofTitle 10, United States Code, Section I 552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNav.al Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 03 November 2016. The names and votes ofthe members of the 
panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferror and iajustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this 
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 Headquarters Marine 
Corps (MMRP-13/PERB), dated 26 January 2016, a copy ofwhich was previously sent to you on 26 
January 2016. 

After careful consideration ofthe entire record, the Board found 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 advisory opinion. The Board noted that 
there is no evidence in your record, and you submitted none, to support your contention that the 
reviewing officer mistakenly marked his comments as observed or to show you attempted to contact 
the reviewing officer to request his approval ofthe requested changes. The Board determined the 
contested report was administratively and procedurally correct and should remain in your Official 
Military Personnel File. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

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 and material evidence 
or other matters not previously considered by the Board within one year from the date ofthe Board's 
decision. 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
