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

Docket No: 9323-17 

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 31January2018. 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 of your application, together with all 
material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions ofyour naval record and applicable statutes, 
regulations and policies. 

The Board carefully considered your desire to remove the Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 6105 
counseling entry dated 26 October 2015 from your official military personnel file. The Board 
considered your contention that the Page 11 counseling creates a false perception and was not 
substantiated by the facts. The Board noted that your Commanding Officer reviewed the Command 
Investigation and found sufficient information warranting formal counseling, and that he was within 
his discretionary authority to issue the 6105 counseling entry. Thus, the Board concluded that you 
did not sufficiently substantiate an error or injustice warranting removal ofthe contested 6105 
counseling entry. Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken at 
this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsidedts 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
