Dear : 
 
This letter 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, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 18 February 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.       
 
The Board carefully considered your request to convene a Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Enlisted Remedial Selection Board (ERSB) to consider you for selection to the grade of master gunnery sergeant (MGySgt)/E-9.  The Board considered your contention that a previous panel of this Board removed your adverse fitness report for the reporting period 31 August 2015 through 30 June 2016 (BCNR Docket No. 6156-17), and that you exercised reasonable diligence by taking steps to remove that report prior to the convening of the FY18 Promotion Selection Board.  You also contend that the adverse fitness report impaired your competitiveness for promotion selection, and that you were denied re-enlistment and forced to retire. 
 
The Board, however, determined that your contentions are without merit.  In this regard, the Board noted that the FY 2018 Active-Duty MGySgt Promotion Selection Board convened on 18 October 2017 and adjourned on 3 November 2017.  The Board also noted that you voluntarily requested transfer to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve on 30 October 2017.  Pursuant to MCO P1400.32D W/CH 1, Marines who are eligible for selection consideration and voluntarily request transfer to the FMCR prior to the adjournment of the appropriate selection board will be removed from the eligible population and will not be considered for selection.  On 31 March 2018, you were transferred to the FMCR and assigned a reentry code RE-2A (transferred to the FMCR prior to reaching maximum service limitations for grade).  The Board noted that the record reflects that you were recommended and eligible for reenlistment at time of your transfer to the FMCR.   
 
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.
