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

Docket No. 9621-17 
JUL O8 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 11 February 2019. 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 Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) letter 5040 Ser N43/011 of 16 March 2018; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. A copy of this advisory opinion is again enclosed. 

On 27 May 2016, you conducted a personally procured move (PPM) from                      to                        .   On 27 June 2016, you received you MED board results. On 5 August 2016, your retirement orders were received. On 27 September 2016, you were transferred to the Permanent Disability Retired List. On 22 December 2016 your claim was denied due to lack of weight tickets. 

You requested reimbursement for your PPM. 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 chose to relocate your fam ily without orders and it is against regulations to authorize reimbursement for your move since your PPM occurred before the issuance of your retirement orders. In addition, the box trailer is not a reimbursable expense and without weight tickets there is no way of knowing the proper weight actually moved. 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. ln 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
