DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON; VA 22204-2490 

Dear 

Docket No: 830-18 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the 
provisions ofTitle 10, United States Code, Section 1552. After careful and conscientious 
consideration ofthe entire record, the 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 ofthe Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on-11 April 2018. The names and votes of the members ofthe 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 ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together 
with ail material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record, and 
applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. The enclosed advisory opinion (AO) provided in 
Headquarters, Marine Corps memorandum dated 26 January 2018 was sent to you for an 
opportunity to comment prior to being considered by the Board. After the period for comment 
expired without a response, the case was presented to the Board. 

The Board carefully considered your desire to remove the fitness report for the reporting period 
1July2015 to 9 February 2016 from your official military personnel file. The Board considered 
your contention that the report was in retaliation for going against the good order and discipline 
that govern the institution. The Board significantly concurred with the AO and found no 
evidence of retaliation, and concluded that you did not sufficiently substantiate the existence of 
an error or injustice. 

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken 
at this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of 
new and material evidence. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board.
