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

Docket No: 6048-17 
NOV 28 2017 

Dear 

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

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting'in executive session, 
considered your application on 16 August 2017. The names and votes ofthe 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 ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions ofyour naval record, and 
applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board found the evidence 
submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. 
The Board carefully considered your desire to remove two Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 
counseling entries dated 24 May 2017 from your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). The 
Board considered your contention that the Page 11 entries were entered erroneously in your 
OMPF and they do not reflect the appropriate information concerning the matters that are 
contained within the entries. Although you provided an advocacy letter with your application, it 
did not specify what the errors were that makes the two entries in error or unjust. The Board 
noted that there is no evidence in your record to support your contention that the Page 11 
counseling entries were entered erroneously. Further, the Board determined that the Page 11 
counseling entries were procedurally and administratively correct as written. Accordingly, your 
application has been denied. 

The Board noted that ifthe Page 11 entries were an administrative error, the squadron command 
that issued the entries, could provide a letter to you so that you could have the Board reconsider 
your request. 

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
