Subj : REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD OF
 
Ref:   (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552 
       (b) BUPER INST 1610.10C (EVALMAN) 

Encl:  (1) DD Form 149 
       (2) Evaluation Report and Counseling Record for the reporting period 1 Feb 15 -4 May l5 
       (3) NPC ltr 1610 PERS-32 dtd 7 Jan 19 

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a.) Petitioner, an enlisted member of the Navy, filed 
enclosure (1) with this Board requesting modification of his evaluation report and counseling 
record ("Eval") for the reporting period 1 February 2015 to 4 May 2015. 

2. The Board, consisting of        , reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on 
28 February 2019 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the partial corTective action 
indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record. 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. 

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. Petitioner was issued enclosure (2), a "not observed" Eval while he was a "C" School 
student. Petitioner contended that he was told the Physical Readiness Test (PRT) administered for 
Cycle 15-during the reporting period was not official because the school did not have access to his 
Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) record, and because he would be required 
to take the official PRT when he returned to his unit. Once he returned to his unit, he took the official 
PRT and passed, as reflected in his PRIM record. The contested Eval documents a failed PFA for Cycle 
15-1. 

    c. In correspondence attached as enclosure (3), the office having cognizance over 
Petitioner's request to modify the contested Eval determined that Petitioner does prove the Eval 
may contain errors, based on PRIM data. The AO recommended Petitioner's record be 
corrected through submission of a letter-supplement from the original RS and approval by the 
BCNR to waive the two-year submission period authorized by reference (b ). 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and in light of enclosures (2) and 
(3), the Board concluded that Petitioner's request warrants relief. The Board concurs with 
enclosure (3), that Petitioner does prove his Eva! to be in error. The Board considered the AO's 
recommended course of action, but concluded that a more practical solution is to redact the 
erroneous information from Petitioner's Eva!, rather than require him to obtain a letter-supplement 
from the original RS. The Board concluded that the "F" in Block 20 of the contested 
Eval shall be redacted, and "PFA: 15-1" shall be redacted from Block 29. 

RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner's naval record be corrected by modifying enclosure (2), his Eval for the reporting 
period 1 February 2015 to 4 May 2015. Specifically, by redacting the "F" from Block 20 
(Physical Readiness), and by redacting "PFA: 15-1" from Block 29. 

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

4. lt 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 Regulation, 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.
