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 the entire 
record, 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 28 June 2019. 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. 

You requested to be able to transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill to your daughter. The Board 
carefully reviewed your application, weighed all potentially mitigating factors, and considered 
your contention that due to false information by the Career Counselor and PSD, you were not 
allowed to apply and transfer my Post 9/11 GI Bill. The Board found that you retired from 
active duty on 31 August 2003, and the Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Act (Post-9/11 
GI Bill, Public Law 110-252) was signed into law on 30 June 2008, and became effective on 
1 August 2009. One of the main requirements of transferability is that members must be on 
active duty or in the Selective Reserve at the time they elect to transfer their Post-9/11 GI Bill 
benefits to their dependents. The Board determined that you were not on active duty on or after 
1 August 2009, therefore, you are not eligible to transfer your Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. 

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.
