DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 

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

Docket No: 8191-17 
MAR 05 2018 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the 
provisions oftitle 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 14 February 2018. The names and votes ofthe 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 of the haval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

The Board, in its review ofyour entire record and application, carefully considered your desire to 
remove from your official military personnel file the Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 6105 
counseling entry you received on 14 December 2005. The Board considered your contention 
that the counseling entry is an erroneous duplicate ofthe Page 11 entry dated 5 December 2005, 
as supported by the Unit Punishment Book entry date 26 January 2006. The Board noted that the 
Page 11 counseling entry issued on 5 December 2005 was due to your consumption of alcoholic 
beverages on 11 November 2005, even though you were under the legal age of consumption, and 
that the Page 11 counseling entry issued on 14 December 2005 was due to your consumption of 
alcoholic beverages on 25 November 2005, even though you were under the legal age of 
consumption. The Board concluded that while the Page 11 counseling entries were issued for the 
same offence, they are not duplicate entries, because your wrongdoing occurred on different 
days. The fact that you received nonjudicial punishment for only one ofthe offenses does not 
negate your wrongdoing on 25 November 2005, as documented in the Page 11 counseling entry 
dated 14 December 2005. 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 ofan official naval record, the 
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
