DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECT/ON OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2~90 

Docket No. 3206-18 
AUG 1, 20l9 

Dear 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552. After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) 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 March 8, 2019. 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. 

You requested that the address you provided as               be utilized as your legal residence for the purpose to receive Basic Allowance for Housing during your mobilization in support of Operation Spartan Shield, NE-5987-020 during the period of October 06, 2017 through November 02, 2018. The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions. The Board concluded that the documentation you provided was not sufficient to conclude that the address given was in fact your residence. Appropriate dates were not provided on the lease nor were dates provided by the Notary to certify when this agreement went into effect. 

It is regretted that the circumstances 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 presumption ofregularity 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. 

Sincerely,
