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

Docket No. 9382-17 

MAY 01 2019 

Dear   , 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of Title 1O United States Code §1552. After careful and conscientious consideration 
of the entire record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the 
existence of probable material error or injustice. Consequently, your application has been 
denied. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 14 December 2018. The names and votes of the members of the 
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 of this 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered the advisory 
opinion contained in Navy Personnel Command memorandum 1160 Ser B328/138 of 
8 September 2018; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. A copy of this 
advisory opinion is again enclosed. 

You requested the following: "Of which to have my reenlistment changed to February 7 2016 
(date of hard EAOS) for 4 years and be awarded SRB for ES CTN rating NEC 0000 at 1.0 per 
NAVADMIN I06/15." Your application states, "I had attempted to reenlist prior to my 
extension becoming operative (07FEB2016). I was counseled by my Divisional Career 
Counselor that I did not submit my CWAY request in time to reenlist before my extension 
became operative. I had an approved CWAY quota when I transferred to my current command. 
I was not informed that I had an approved CWAY quota to utilize for reenlistment prior to my 
extension becoming operative. I was informed of my approved CWAY quota when I was 
informed that I had to return my quota. I signed a NAVPERS 1070/613 reflecting that I had to 
return my CWAY quota." The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, 
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions. Nevertheless, the 
Board concluded that you failed to prove that your intension was to reenlist on 7 February 2016, 
prior your extension going operative. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with 
the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 

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 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 of regularity 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
