       (b) BUPERSINST 1610.10C (EVALMAN) 
 
Encl:  (1) DD Form 149 
       (2) Evaluation Report and Counseling Record for reporting period 16 Apr 17 to 15 Apr 18 
       (3) NPC memo 1610 PERS-32 of 8 Jan 19 
 
1.  Pursuant reference (a), Petitioner, an enlisted sailor in the Navy, filed enclosure (1) with this Board, requesting that his record be corrected by modifying his Evaluation Report and Counseling Record (Eval) of 16 April 2017 to 15 April 2018. 
 
2.  The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 8 January 2020 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 
 
3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, found as follows: 
 
      a.  Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulation within the Department of the Navy. 
 
      b.  Petitioner was issued enclosure (2), an Eval for the reporting period 16 April 2017 to 15 April 2018.  Petitioner contends that, pursuant to reference (b), the summary group should be “1 of 1” and Block 5 marked as “AT/ADSW.”  Petitioner asserts that he has been on long term active-duty training and should not be grouped with another Selected Reserves in an inactive-duty training drilling status.  Petitioner further asserts that he informed his reporting senior (RS) that the Eval needed to be fixed, but the his RS has refused to correct the grouping and the performance marks. 
 
   c.  An advisory opinion (AO) furnished by the Navy Personnel Command (PERS-32) determined that Petitioner’s contentions are valid, and that the contested Eval is in error.  PERS-32 recommended that Petitioner’s Eval be modified by marking Block 5 “AT/ADSW” and by 
marking Blocks 42 and 43 to reflect “early promote” and “1” respectively, and that this modification would also require a modification to the Summary Group Average. 
 
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and in light of the AO, the Board determined that Petitioner’s request warrants relief.  The Board determined that the Eval contains correctable errors, and concurred with the changes recommended by PERS-32.  The Board concluded that Petitioner’s record shall be corrected by changing Block 5 “AT/ADSW” and by marking Blocks 42 and 43 to reflect “early promote” and “1” respectively.  The Board also concluded that the Summary Group Average shall also be corrected to “3.71” vice “4.00.”
