DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
01 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No. 8528-16 
AUG 28 2017 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 U.S.C. § 1552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction of Naval Re~ords, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 5 May 2017. The names and votes of the 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 of this 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. Additionally, the board considered the advisory opinion provided by Headquarters Marine Corps (MMRP-13) dated 19 September 2016, which was previously provided to you. 

You requested that your fitness reports dated 20l0l001-20110930(AN) and 20111001-20111215 (CH) be 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 of probable material error or injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your 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 ofregularity 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 ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
