Docket No. 3698-19
Ref: Signature Date 
 
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, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 18 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 Headquarters Marine Corps memorandum 5420 MMEA of 9 June 2020 and your response to the opinion.   
    
You requested entitlement to a Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) Aircraft Maintenance Kicker.  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  However, the Board concluded that you did not meet the eligibility criteria to receive a FY19 Aircraft Maintenace Kicker in accordance with Marine Corps Administration (MARADMIN) message 370/18.  Specifially, MARADMIN 370/18 indicates that Marines must be stationed at an Monitored Command Code (MCC) listed in the message and must agree to remain in a specified MCC 24-months beyond reenlistment.  A review of your record indicates you reenlisted on 12 December 2018 for a term of 4-years and 8-months; however, at the time of reenlistment, you were not assigned to a listed MCC, thereby rendering you ineligible for the FY19 Aircarft Maintence Kicker inspite of the erroneous entry on your DD Form 4, Enlistment/    Reenlistment Document.  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,
