Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United tates Code, Section 1552. After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) 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     .

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. 

Regarding your request for a personal appearance, the Board determined that a personal appearance with or without counsel will not materially add to their understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the Board determined that a personal appearance was not necessary and considered your case based on the evidence of record.

On   , you completed the personally procured move (PPM) checklist and expense certification and application for a self-move and counseling checklist (DD Form 2278). On you rented a truck to conduct your PPM and returned it on you were discharged. 

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. The Board noted that you stated that you forgot to get the weight ticket because you were rushing to move everything. The Board concluded that based on your counseling checklist to conduct a PPM and your statement you understood the requirements and because you did not follow set guidelines by not obtaining the necessary weight tickets does not constitute an error or injustice for reimbursement. Financial hardship may be considered for remission of this debt. If you seek remission of this debt, you should request such remission from OPNAV N130C at NXAG _Nl 30C@navy.mil. 

It is regretted that the circwnstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149. New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a preswnption 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.
