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

Docket No: 11246-19 
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 that you did not exhaust your administrative remedies with Commandant of the Marine Corps (MMPR-1). Consequently, your application has been denied. 
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 16 February 2021. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.  The Board found you did not exhaust all administrative remedies prior to petitioning the Board.  Specifically, your request for a Special Selection Board should be submitted to MMPR-1. 

Once you have exhausted your administrative remedies with MMPR-1, you are entitled to have the Board consider your request, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149 with any materials from MMPR-1 denying your request. 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, 

3/3/2021
Deputy Director
