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


Docket No.7531-17
MAR 20 2018 

Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions ofTitle 10 U.S.C. § 1552. 

A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 9 February 2018. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 
panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferror and injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofyour 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 that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or 
injustice. In this connection, the Board concluded Navy Transferability policies were 
promulgated on three occasions prior to your 2 February 2011 discharge. Specifically, Navy 
Administrative (NAV AD MIN) message 187/09, NAVADMIN 203/09 and Bureau ofNaval 
Personnel Notice 1780 (dated 7 April 2010) outlined eligibility, processing, service obligation, and 
reference infonnation germane to transferring education benefits to eligible dependents prior to separating 
from the Navy. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

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 ofregularity 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
