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

HCG Docket No. 9657-16 
MAY 0 4 2017 
Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552. 
A three-member panel ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 17 April 2017. 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, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. The advisory opinion provided by NPC memo 5420 OPNAV NI 70 dated 14 December 2016, was sent to you on 24 January 2017 for an opportunity to comment prior to being consjdered by the Board. After the 30 day period for comment expired without a response, the case was presented to the Board. 
After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence ofprobable material error or 
injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in 
the advisory opinion. Accordingly, your application has been denied. However, the Board 
encourages you to petition this Board again ifyou have any substantiating documentation to 
prove that you participated in the Cycle I 2014 Physical Fitness Assessment. 
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 
Docket No. 9657-16 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
