DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 
Docket No: 4674-17 

Dear

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the United States Code, section 1552. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 28 June 2017. The names and votes of the 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 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. 

On 25 May 2016, you were issued an Administrative Remarks (Page 11) counseling which stated in part, that on or about 29 April 2016 you were in an unauthorized absence status from your appointed place of duty. After careful and conscientious consideration of the 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 the Page 11 dated 25 May 2016 removed from your official military performance file, and your contention that your unauthorized absence was involuntary because you were detained by the Honolulu Police Department. The Board concluded that the Page 11 was procedurally and administratively correct as written. 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 ofregularity attaches to all official records. Consequently, when applying for a con-ection of an official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence ofprobable material en-or or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
