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

Docket No. 4863-17 
FEB 25, 2019 

Dear   , 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of Title 10 United States Code §1552. After careful and conscientious consideration 
of the entire record the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the 
existence of probable material error or injustice. Consequently. your application has been 
denied. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 21 September 2018. 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, relevant portions of your naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered the advisory 
opinion contained in Office of the Chief of Naval Operations memorandum 7220 Ser 
NI30C/18UO151 dated 31 January 2018: a copy of which was previously provided to you for 
comment. A copy ofthis advisory opinion is again enclosed. 

You requested to have your record accurately updated to show you owed no days of leave prior 
to your discharge and reimbursement for debt paid; the Board, in its review of your entire record 
and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions. 
Nevertheless, the Board concluded that on 1 October 2014, you brought forward 26.5 days leave. 
You took 62 days leave (19 December 2014 to 28 December 20l4, 23 January 2015 to 16 February 2015, 
and 21 August 2015 to 16 September 2015), and you earned 29.5 vice 30 days (You took 6 days of excess leave). 
Your leave balance on 30 September 2015 (When you resigned) was -6 days. ln this connection, the Board 
substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 

lt 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 lo 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
