DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No. 6410-19 
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 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 11 October 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.
 
On 28 October 2004, you enlisted for 8 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve.  On 12 September 2005, you entered active duty for 4 years.  On 1 July 2009, you were released from active duty and transferred to the Naval Reserve to attend school.
 
You requested that your naval record reflect that you were released from active duty on 11 September 2009 vice 1 July 2009; 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 were released from active duty prior to your end of active obligated service in order to attend school. You certified both your DD Form 214 (Certificate of release or discharge from active duty), and NAVPERS 1070/613 (Administrative remarks) acknowledging early separation.
 
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,
