Docket No: 10885-19 
Ref: Signature Date 
 
Dear Sergeant : 
 
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.    
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 19 January 2021.  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, as well as the 19 November 2019 advisory opinion (AO) furnished by the Marine Corps Performance Evaluation Review Board (PERB).  The AO was provided to you on 19 November 2019, you were given 30 days in which to submit a response.  When you did not provide a response, your case was submitted to the Board for consideration.  
 
The Board carefully considered your request to remove your fitness report for the reporting period 3 June 2018 to 27 July 2018.  The Board considered your contention that you had a history of medical issues before, during, and after the period of your contested fitness report.  You also contend that there is no evidence of a 6105 page 11 entry in your record.  You claim that medical documents before the reporting period indicate a history of medical issues, and after leaving Drill Instructor (DI) school you were hospitalized due to blood clots in your lungs.  As evidence, you provided medical documents.  
 
The Board, however, substantially concurred with the AO that your fitness report is valid and should be retained as modified.  In this regard, the Board noted that the PERB approved corrections to your record by removing your section A, item 6.b. (Derogatory Material) mark and your addendum page 1 of 1 statement, “Sect A, Item 6b: MRO received a 6105 counseling entered into her OMPF for failing a PFT and not being within Marine Corps Body Composition standards.”  The Board also noted your statement and evidence.  However, the Board found no evidence that your medical condition contributed to your inability to pass the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) or to maintain Marine Corps height and weight standards, and you provided none.  The Board determined that you obtained medical clearance to attend DI school without limitation and were thus required to meet all requirements according to Marine Corps regulations.  Accordingly, the Board concluded that there is no probable material error, substantive inaccuracy, or injustice warranting further corrective action.  
 
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,
