Docket No. 6123-17 
MAR 2O 2018 

Dear , 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour mval record pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 USC 1552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval RA:ords, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 9 Feburary 2018. The names arl votes ofthe members ofthe 
panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferrcrand injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures apificable to the proceedings ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consi~ ofyotir application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof' relevant portioIIofyour naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. The advisory opiJion provided in Navy Personnel 
Command memorandum 1160 Ser 813/210 dated 5 December2017 was sent to you on 3 January 
2018 for an opportunity to comment prior to being consideredliy the Board. A copy ofthis 
advisory opinion is again enclosed. After the 30 day period fcrcomment expired without a 
response, the case was presented to the Board. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire recwl, the Board found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence "If. probable material error or 
injustice. You assert that you were eligible; however due to ym arduous training schedule and 
in addition to receiving short fused orders you were not given Jdequate time or counseling to 
reenlist prior to transfer. The Board, in its review ofyour enfu: record and application, carefully 
weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your ass<:llions. Nevertheless, it was 
determined that you were eligible to execute a reenlistment prilr to passing through Zone C. 
However, the documentation you submitted did not support yCllf case. You did not include any 
documentation that provided evidence ofyour intent to reenli~prior to crossing out ofZone C. 
For example, your Commanding Officer's approval ofyour readistment request prior to your 
transfer on 7 April 2017. This would have shown your intent 11 reenlist prior to crossing zones, 
and the fact that the Command Career Counselor (CCC) did rntprovide the appropriate 
counseling and/or submission ofthe Selective Reenlistment B111us (SRB) precertification would 
have been evident. In this connection, the Board substantiallyamcurred with the comments 
contained in the advisory opinion. Accordingly, your applicatim has been denied. ! 

Regarding your request for a personal appearance, the Board d:!ermined that a personal 
appearance with or without counsel will not materially add to kir understanding ofthe issue(s) 
involved. Therefore, the Board determined that a personal app:arance was not necessary and 
considered your case based on the evidence ofrecord. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour case are such thatmvorable action cannot be taken 
at this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its &cision upon the submission of 
new and material evidence. New evidence is evidence not preliously considered by the Board. 
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumptica ofregularity attaches to all 
official records. Consequently, when applying for a correctionof an official naval record, the 
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence ofprobible material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
