Docket No: 11787-19 
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.    
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 9 February 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 30 January 2020 advisory opinion (AO) furnished by the Navy Personnel Command (PERS-80).  The AO was provided to you on 4 February 2020, and 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 modify your Performance Summary Record (PSR) to reflect ‘Early Promote’ for the reporting period 1 February 2016 to 31 January 2017.  The Board considered your contentions that your commanding officer (CO) submitted a Letter-Supplement requesting a change to blocks 42 and 43 of your report, the Letter-Supplement was added to your electronic record, however, your PSR was not changed to reflect the correction to your record. 
 
The Board, however, substantially concurred with the AO.  In this regard, the Board noted that according to the Navy Evaluation Manual (EVALMAN), supplemental material does not replace the original report, nor does it change the information on the member’s PSR; it only supplements the original report, and a notation will be made to indicate that there is supplementary material.  The Board determined that your Letter-Supplement was processed according to Navy regulations, and a change to your PSR is not warranted.  Accordingly, the Board concluded that 
there is no probable material error, substantive inaccuracy, or injustice warranting 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, 
 
2/23/2021
Executive Director
