CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration ofall the evidence ofrecord, the Board concluded that 
Petitioner's request warrants partial relief. The Board examined the contested Page 11 and

acknowledged the Page 11 entry, as evidenced by his signature and rebuttal statement. The 
Board concluded that the contested Page 11 counseling entry was issued to the Petitioner and it 
shall remain in his OMPF, along with his rebuttal statement. However, the Board determined 
that the EDIPI on the Page 11 is an administrative error and it shall be corrected to reflect 
Petitioner's EDIPI.
