Docket No. 10333-19
Ref: Signature Date

Dear  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code.  After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied. 
 
Although your application was not filed in a timely manner, the Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and consider your case on its merits.  A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 1 December 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.  In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in Navy Personnel Command memorandum 1000 PERS-312/DV of 10 January 2020 and your response to the opinion. 
 
You requested to change your Home of Record (HOR) from .  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  The Board concluded you did not meet the eligibility criteria to change your HOR per the Joint Travel Regulation.  Specifically, your record does not reflect exceeding one full-day break in service or a legitimate error with the entry of your address at the time of enlistment.  Moreover, your enlistment documents all reflect Alexandria, VA as your place of entry on active duty and HOR.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
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.   
 
 Sincerely,
