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


Docket No: 1829-17 
DEC 07 2017 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of title 10 ofthe 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 13 September 2017. 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 of this 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofyour application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions ofyour naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. The Board also reviewed the advisory opinion 
(AO) provided by Navy Personnel Command (PERS-32) dated 12 June 2017, which was 
previously provided to you. 

The Board carefully considered your desire to remove or reevaluate the evaluation reports for the 
reporting periods 27 May 2015 to 15 November 2015 and 16 November 2015 to 
15 November 2016. The Board considered your contentions that you did not fail your Physical 
Fitness Assessment, that you were unfairly graded on your 2016 evaluation, and that your chain 
ofcommand has expressed their dislike in you and have taken steps to evaluate you 
unprofessionally. The Board concluded that theremoval or reevaluation ofthe contested 
evaluation reports is not warranted. In this regard, the Board substantially concurred with the 
comments and recommendation contained in the AO. Accordingly, your application has been 
denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour 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 ofan official naval record, the 
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
