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

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 3 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 of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

You requested that the 21 October 2003 non-judicial punishment (NJP) that was "ran erroneously" be removed from record. You stated that there are no source documents provided or entries in your UPB or PG 11 to coincide with the NJP and that you were not aware of this error until contacted by a member of the FY 16 Gunnery Sergeant Board. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record the Board found that the evidence you submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. The Board was not persuaded that you were not aware ofthis error, given the fact that you admitted on your reenlistment request dated 19 September 2008 to receiving the NJP, your good conduct medal being reset after the NJP to 21 October 2003 and receiving forfeiture of $1502. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regret that the circumstances of your case do not allow me to grant your requested action. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new 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
