enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that his entry grade credit (EGC), 
commissioning date to LT/03, and date ofrank be corrected in the applicable naval record. 

2. The Board, consisting of            , reviewed Petitioner's

determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence

with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions ofPetitioner's naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts ofrecord pertaining to Petitioner'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. In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject 
matter addressed in Petitioner's application has commented to the effect that the request has 
partial merit and warrants partial favorable action. 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration ofall the evidence ofrecord, and especially in light ofthe 
contents ofenclosure (2), the Board agreed with the advisory opinion. The Board finds the 
existence ofan injustice warranting the following corrective action. 

RECOMMENDATION 

That Petitioner's naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 

The Petitioner earned a total of"3 years, 8 months, and 13 days" vice "2 years, 00 months, and 
00 days" ofEGC. 

The Petitioner's date of rank to LTJG is changed to "22 March 2012" from "05 December 
2013." 

In so far as Petitioner's request for corrective action that exceeds the foregoing, the Board 
concurred with the advisory opinion. The Petitioner did not earn the required four years of EGC 
to be advanced to LT/03 upon commissioning. The Petitioner's date ofrank could not be 
corrected to 21 May 2009. 

Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS) will complete an audit ofPetitioner's records to 
determine ifPetitioner is due any back pay and allowances. 

A copy ofthis Report ofProceedings will be filed in Petitioner's naval record. 

4. It is certified that quorum was present at the Board's review and deliberations, and that the 
foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board procedings in the above entitled matter. 

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) ofthe revised Procedures ofthe 
Board for Correction ofNaval Records (32 Code ofFederal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and 
having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing 
corrective action, taken under the authority ofreference (a), has been approved by the Board on
