under existing law and regulations within the Department ofthe Navy.

for failing to maintain Marine Corps body composition standards (encl (2) ). In his application, 
Petitioner argued that he was erroneously assigned to the Body Composition Program (BCP). In 
support of his application, Petitioner submitted a letter from his medical doctor, who reviewed 
available medical records, and verified the there is no indication that he was evaluated by a 
medical provider for placement in the program. 

d. The AO (encl (3)) recommended Petitioner's request be granted. Specifically, the Page 
11 entry is in error because there is no record ofPetitioner ever being evaluated for the BCP.
