Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD OF 

Ref: (a) 10 U.S.C. § 1552 

(b) MCO P1900.16F W/CH 1–2 (MARCORSEPMAN) 
Encl: (1) DD Form 149 

(2) Administrative Remarks (1070) NAVMC 118(11) of 21 Dec 12 

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, an enlisted member of the Marine 
Corps, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting his record be corrected by removing an 
Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 6105 counseling from his official military personnel file 
(OMPF). 

2. The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner's 
allegations of error and injustice on 8 January 2019 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 Petitioner’s application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of the 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, finds as follows: 

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available 
under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy. 

b. On 21 December 2012, Petitioner received enclosure (2), a Page 11 6105 counseling entry 
for violating Article 92 (disobeying an order or regulation) and Article 107 (making a false 
official statement) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The entry states “When 
questioned by the Commanding Officer you stated that you had not shaved due to bumps on your 
neck and that you had a no shave chit. When investigated it was discovered that a no shave chit 
had not been given to you by competent medical authority.” 

c. Petitioner denies the allegation contained in the Page 11 entry and contends, further, that 
he elected and submitted a rebuttal, which was not included in his OMPF with the contested 
Page 11 entry. He thus contends that the entry should be removed from his OMPF. 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of enclosure 
(2), the Board determined that Petitioner’s request warrants relief. In this regard, the Board 
determined that Petitioner’s command failed to upload his rebuttal after he elected to submit one 
and failed to document why the contested entry was uploaded without the rebuttal. Moreover, 
the Board determined that the contested entry is not administratively correct, as it does not 
indicate available assistance, as required by paragraph 6105.3b of reference (b). Therefore, the 
Board concluded that the contested Page 11 6105 counseling entry shall be removed from 
Petitioner’s OMPF. 

RECOMMENDATION 

In view of the above, the Board recommends the following corrective action. 

Petitioner’s naval record be corrected by removing the Page 11 6105 counseling entry dated 
21 December 2012. See enclosure (2). 

Any material or entries inconsistent with or relating to the Board’s recommendation be corrected, 
removed or completely expunged from Petitioner’s record, and that no such entries or material 
be added to the record in the future. This includes but is not limited to all information 
systems/database entries that reference or discuss the material being expunged. 

4. It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the 
foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter. 
5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the 
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)), 
and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing 
corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on 
behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
