Dear   
 
This is in reference to your reconsideration request of Docket No.: 8882-18.  You previously petitioned the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) and were advised in our letter of 27 November 2019, that your application had been denied.  Your case was reconsidered in accordance with Board procedures, which conform to Lipsman v. Secretary of the Army, 335F.Supp.2d 48 (D.D.C. 2004).  After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your reconsideration request has been denied. 
 
Because your application was submitted with new evidence not previously considered, the Board found it in the interest of justice to review your application.  Your current request has been carefully examined by a three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session on 9 September 2020.  The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application and all material submitted in support of your application.    
  
You enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 16 January 1962.  On 22 October 1964, you transferred from , to Naval Communications Station, .   On 13 May 1966, you were discharged with an Honorable discharge.    
 
You requested an amendment of your DD 214.  You stated that Section 12 of DD 214 should be corrected to include a duty assignment to the National Security Agency (NSA).  You stated your last duty assignment was with NSA “housed” at the Naval Security Station.  You stated your orders from     were to NSA, not Naval Communications Station (NCS).  The Board concluded these factors and assertions were not sufficient to warrant a change to your DD 214.  The Board noted that a DD 214 is required to list your last duty station from which you are discharged.  As you were transferred to NCS,     , that was your final duty station.  The Board further noted that although you may have performed duties for the NSA, your actual duty station was NCS, not NSA. 
 
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.   
 
 Sincerely,
