Docket No: 3779-19  
Ref:   Signature Date  

From:  Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records  
To:    Secretary of the Navy  

Ref:  (a) 10 U.S.C. § 1552 

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments 
      (2) DD Form 4/1 Enlistment/Reenlistment Document of 12 Sep 11 
      (3) PRPO ltr 5420 OPNAV N170 of 25 Jul 19 

1.  Pursuant to the reference, Petitioner, a former non-commissioned officer of the Navy, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting that her record in the Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) be corrected by removing her Cycle 2-2011 physical readiness test (PRT) “failure.” 

2.  Although Petitioner’s application was not filed in a timely manner, the Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and consider her case on its merits. The Board, consisting of    , reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on 24 March 2020 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 

3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, found that, before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy. The Board made the following findings: 

a.  Petitioner contends that her PRT failure was erroneously recorded during October 2011.  Petitioner also contends that she enlisted on 12 September 2011 and had not reported to her unit when the scores were reported.  As evidence, Petitioner submitted enclosure (2), her DD Form 4/1. 

b.  The advisory opinion (AO), enclosure (3), requested an official copy of Petitioner’s reserve orders.  

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an error warranting corrective action.  After a review of Petitioner’s official military personnel file, the Board noted that Petitioner’s 12 September 2011 DD Form 4/1 documented her initial entry on active duty.  The Board also noted that Petitioner was not yet assigned to her unit during October 2011.  Therefore, the Board determined that Petitioner’s Cycle 2-2011 PRT failure shall be removed from PRIMS. 

RECOMMENDATION: 

In view of the above, the Board directs the following corrective action. 

Petitioner’s naval record be corrected by removing her Cycle 2-2011 PRT failure from PRIMS.  

Any material or entries inconsistent with or relating to theBoard’s recommendation be corrected, removed, or completely expunged from Petitioner’s record, and no such entries or material be added to the record in the future.  This includes, but is not limited to, all information systems/database entries that reference or discuss the material being expunged. 

4.  It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above-entitled matter. 

5.  Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)), and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
