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

Docket No. 9643-16  
JUL 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 ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 12 May 2017. The names and votes ofthe 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 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. The advisory opinion provided in HQMC letter [REDACTED] was previously sent to you on 7 March 2017 for an opportunity to comment prior to being considered by the Board. A copy of this advisory opinion is again enclosed. After the 30-day period for comment expired without a response, the case was presented to the Board. 

After careful and conscientious consideration of the 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. Specifically, the Board found that the burden ofproof falls on the individual Marine to provide proof that he/she followed the administrative process at TBS, IPAC and with his loan holder as outlined in the policy. Furthermore, the Board determined that per MARADMIN 373/08 published on 30 June 2008, FY09 Active Component Officer College Loan Repayment (CLRP) PLC accessions, sophomore and junior year only, are eligible provided they graduate before 1 October 2011 and will receive their final CLRP repayment installment prior to 1 October 2014. 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 of 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 ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
