DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No: 2181-17 
SEP 11 2017 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the 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 28 June 2017. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 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 of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

On 5 May 2014, you receive nonjudicial punishment (NJP) for failure to obey a lawful written order. On 12 May, 12 June and 11July2014, you were issued an Administrative Remarks (Page 11) counseling that states you understood you were eligible, but not recommended for promotion to the rank of Lance Corporal due to receiving NJP. You acknowledged that your non-recommendation for promotion was for six months. 
After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, concerning your desire to have the three Page l ls removed from your official military performance file (OMPF), and your contention that the Page 11 s are double punishment and an injustice following your NJP. The Board concluded the three Page 11 's are procedurally and administratively correct as written. 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 of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
