Dear ,  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552.  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 was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied. 
 
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 11 June 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 Community Management Support Branch memo 1160 Ser B328/091 dated 8 June 2020 and your response to the opinion. 
 
On 6 May 2014, you enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve for 8 years, and you were guaranteed the Air Traffic Controller (AC 5YO) Class “A” School.  On 7 May 2014, you certified an Enlistment Bonus Statement of Understanding offering an Enlistment Bonus Source rate of $8,000.  On 21 October 2014, you entered active duty, and your Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the U.S. reflected Advanced Technical Field (ATF/ND 6YO) Challenge Program, and an Enlistment Bonus for Source rate (EBSR) $8,000.   Additionally, you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 24 months in order to obligate for the Training in the Advanced Technical Field (ATF).  On 29 October 2014, you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 12 months in order to obligate for the Training in the Advanced Technical Field (ATF), and you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 12 months in order to obligate for the Advancement to rate and grade per MILPERSMAN 1430-010.  On 1 April 2015, you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 12 months in order to obligate for the Training in the Five-Year Obligator Program for 5YO/AC Rating.   
  
You requested that your current 24-month extension be cancelled and replaced with a 12 month extension; the Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  Nevertheless, the Board concluded that you agreed to the ATF Navy Dive Preparatory Course; however, you dropped on request from the course on 9 March 2015.  Inoperative extensions will not be cancelled if it is determined that the member is at fault.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion.   
    
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,
