COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records To: Secretary of the Navy Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552 Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments (2) HQMC memo 1820 MMSR-5 of 23 Jan 19 (3) Subject’s naval record 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 reinstate career points of 3,646 as of 20180712 and reinstate 19 satisfactory years. 2. The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 12 November 2019 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 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 9 August 1996, Petitioner enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve. c. On 17 August 1998, Petitioner entered the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) and completed NROTC on 10 May 2001. d. On 11 May 2001, Petitioner was commissioned. f. In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject matter addressed in Petitioner’s application has commented to the effect that the request has partial merit and warrants partial favorable action. CONCLUSION Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board agreed that upon commissioning, Petitioner’s anniversary date was established in error and when changed correctly on 25 July 2018, satisfactory years and points were lost. The Board agreed that HQMC already credited all available points back to Petitioner’s record except for any membership points while in the NROTC. The Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following partial corrective action. RECOMMENDATION That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Transfer 4 points from the anniversary year ending 10 May 2014 to the anniversary year ending 10 May 2015. This action will establish a satisfactory year for 10 May 2015 anniversary year. In so far as Petitioner's request for corrective action that exceeds the foregoing, the Board would not adjust Petitioner’s anniversary date back to the erroneous date of 9 August. The Board concluded that Petitioner last satisfactory year on his CRCR dated 14 June 2016 was the anniversary year ending 8 August 2015. There is no proof of any previous satisfactory year that became unsatisfactory after the anniversary year end date was changed which the Board preclude any additional credit to award a 19th satisfactory. Lastly, HQMC credited back 44 paid drill points for anniversary year ending 8 August 1998 and the 99 total correspondence points. A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 4. It is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter. 5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
