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

Docket No: 7757-17 
DEC 26 2017 

Dear : 

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

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 22 November 2017. The names and votes of the members ofthe 
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. 

Regarding your request for a personal appearance, the Board determined that a personal 
appearance with or without counsel will not materially add to their understanding of the issues 
involved. Therefore, the Board determined that a personal appearance was not necessary and 
considered your case based on the evidence ofrecord. 

On , your Commanding Officer (CO) requested that you be Relieved for Cause 
(RFC) from recruiting duty due to malpractice. On the Commanding General, 
approved the Commanding Officer's request that you be Relieved 
for Cause due to malpractice. On , you submitted a request for redress of 
wrongs to the Commanding General, in which you requested the withdrawal ofyour RFC and to 
be reinstated as a canvassing recruiter. On , the Commanding General 
considered your request for redress and denied your request. 

The Board carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors such as your desire to have your 
RFC of removed from your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). 

The Board considered your contention that the record is an error due to the fact that the 
reasoning for the RFC was the presumption that you violated articles ofthe Uniform Code of 
Military Justice (UCMJ). The Board concluded that these factors were not sufficient to warrant 
the removal ofthe RFC from your OMPF for reasons that were set forth in the Commanding 
General's letter. The Board concluded that you did not sufficiently 
substantiate the existence of an error or injustice. The Board concludes that the removal ofthe 
RFC from your OMPF is not warranted. 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 of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
