1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to show Petitioner’s September 2017 (Cycle 236) Navy Wide Advancement Examination (NWAE) reflected education points. 

2.  The Board, consisting of                                                                          , reviewed Petitioner's

Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s 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.  On 31 January 2015, Petitioner was awarded an Associate Degree from             Community College of the City                            .

     c.  In September 2017, Petitioner participated in the September 2017 (Cycle 236) NWAE and passed not advanced (PNA). 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of reference (b), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  Petitioner would have been advanced to E-4 if his education points were included in his final score.
