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

Docket No: 3741-17 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the 
provisions oftitle 1O ofthe United States Code, section 1552. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 12 July 2017. The names and votes ofthe members of the panel 
will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferror and injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings ofthis 
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. 

On , you received an Administrative Remarks (Page 11) counseling for your 
failure to adhere to the Marine Corps Body Composition Program (BCP) standards. The Page 11 
states in part, that you were assigned to the Marine Corps BCP for a period of6 months. You 
were directed to meet the following weight reduction goal of2 pounds or a body fat reduction 
goal of 1.5% percent per month. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe record, the Board found the evidence 
submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 
The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, concerning your desire to have 
your Page 11 removed from your official military performance file (OMPF), and your contention 
that you were never assigned to the BCP. The Board concluded these factors were not sufficient 
to warrant the removal ofyour Page 11 from your OMPF. Regarding your contention, the Board 
noted that the Page 11 and your fitness report covering the period from to 
state that you were enrolled in the BCP. You presented no evidence to contradict 
the fact that you were assigned to the BCP. The Board determined that the Page 11 was 
procedurally and administratively correct as written. 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 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 ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
