The Board, consisting of Mr. , Mr. , and , reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on 11 September 2018 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 ofrecord 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 15 June 2015, Petitioner received enclosure (2), a 6105 Page 11 entry counseling him for violating Article 107, Uniform Code of Military Justice, for making a false official statement, and advising him that he was being processed for administrative separation. Petitioner acknowledged receipt of the entry and elected to make a statement, which does not appear in his records. On 23 June 2015, Petitioner's commanding officer (CO) submitted enclosure (4) for inclusion in Petitioner's OMPF, noting that, after five business days, Petitioner had not submitted a rebuttal. c. On 15 June 2015, Petitioner also received enclosure (3), a page 11 entry documenting that Petitioner had not completed a pre-separation medical screening as required. d. Petitioner was not involuntarily administratively separated. e. There are no other documents regarding an administrative separation located in Petitioner's OMPF. CONCLUSION Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board concluded that Petitioner's request warrants partial relief. The Board noted that, in accordance with the Marine Corps Individual Records Administration Manual, Paragraph 4007, Page 11 entries that reference administrative discharge or competency review proceedings are prohibited, if such proceedings do not, upon final review, result in discharge or reduction. Therefore, the Board determined that both 15 June 2015 entries shall be removed from Petitioner's OMPF. With the removal of enclosure (2), the Board concluded that his CO's letter at enclosure (4) is improper and shall be removed from Petitioner's OMPF. The Board noted that there are no other documents regarding an administrative separation located in Petitioner's OMPF.
