Dear ,  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552.  After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (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 of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 13 January 2020.  The names and votes of the members of the 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 of this Board.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.   
 
On 3 September 1974, you enlisted into the U.S. Navy Reserve.  On 3 December 1974, you entered active duty, and on 1 April 1977, you were released from active duty and transferred to the Naval Reserves as an MN3/E-4.  On 4 April 1980, you were commissioned, and on 31 July 1995, you were transferred to the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL).  On 1 April 2000, you were transferred to the Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL). 
 
You requested for your enlisted time to be added to your overall military time for total active service.  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  The Board concluded that while you were on the TDRL/PDRL your enlisted active duty service from 3 December 1974 to 1 April 1977 was part of the overall total active service.  Lastly, time spent on the TDRL does not count towards creditable service.  On the other hand, the Navy Personnel Command submitted a request to DFAS that an audit be conducted due to a discrepancy between your financial record at DFAS and NPC’s statement of service.   
 
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken.  You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149.  New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board.  In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.  Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.
