1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the 
applicable naval record be corrected to receive Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) effective 20 October 2013.
 
2. The Board, consisting of      , reviewed Petitioner's allegations oferror and injustice on 16 August 2018 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the 
corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, 
relevant portions of the Petitioner'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 of the Navy. 

b. On 16 July 2011, Petitioner was advanced to E-4. On 12 March 2013, the Petitioner reported to the USS      (SSN     ) and checked into unaccompanied housing (U/H). 
On 20 October 2013, Petitioner checked out of U/H. On 19 December 2013, Petitioner was advanced to E-5. On 16 February 2016, Petitioner was advanced to E-6. On 
11 September 2017, Petitioner transferred. 

c. 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 of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board agreed the Petitioner did 
not provide any evidence of authorization from the ship Commanding Officer to live out in town nor the authorization of payment of BAH for the housing office. 
The Board did agree that once the Petitioner was advanced to E-6 that he may elect to live out in town and receive BAH once a lease is provided. 
The Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following partial corrective action. 

RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner was authorized BAH at the without-dependent rate for     ,        , from 19 August 2016 to 11 September 2017 while stationed aboard the USS      (SSN     ). 

In so far as Petitioner's request for corrective action that exceeds the foregoing, the Board concurred with the advisory opinion. The Petitioner does not have 
any sufficient evidence authorizing him to live out in town by the ship Commanding Officer or the payment of BAH by the U/H office effective 20 October 2013. 

A copy of this Report of Proceedings 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 ofthe Board's proceedings in 
the above entitled matter. 

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal 
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 of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
