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

Docket No: 8616-17 
JAN 03 2018 

Dear : 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your 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 13 December 2017. 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 of your naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

The Board carefully considered your desire to remove the Administrative Remarks (Page 
11/6105) counseling entry of and the corresponding rebuttal statement from 
our Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). The Board considered your contentions that due 
to how the Page 11/6105 counseling is written, it does not capture your mistake ofbeing 
unfamiliar to policy, recognition of an off-limit establishment and proximity to that location, it 
more so carries weight as ifyou knowingly violated the order and had malicious intent and that 
the it highlights unsubstantiated accusations and insinuates other allegations ofmisconduct that 
was unfounded through the Command Investigation. The Board concluded that these factors 
were not sufficient to warrant the removal ofthe Page 11/6105 counseling entry and 
corresponding rebuttal statement from your OMPF. In this regard, the Board concludes that the 
Page 11/6105 counseling was procedurally and administratively correct as written and you did 
not sufficiently substantiate the existence ofan error or injustice. 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 ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 


Executive Director
