DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No. 2835-17 
SEP 07 2017 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of I 0 U.S.C. § 1552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 30 June 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 of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. Additionally, the board considered the advisory opinion provided by Headquarters Marine Corps (MMRP-13/PERB) dated 4 January 2017, which was previously provided to you. 

You requested that your fitness report covering the period from 20151008-20160430 be removed from your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). 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, which modified the report. The Board determined that there was enough information in the report to conclude that the RS gave consideration to the Petitioner's efforts and results. 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
