Encl:   (1) DD Form 149 w/enclosures  
        (2) Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 6105 counseling of 9 Feb 12 
   
1.  Pursuant to reference (a), Petitioner, an enlisted member of the Marine Corps, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting that his naval record be corrected by removing a Page 11 6105 counseling of 9 February 2012 from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).  
 
2.  The Board, consisting of,     reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 1 September 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 as follows: 
 
      a.  Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulation within the Department of the Navy. 
 
      b.  Petitioner contends that enclosure (2), his 9 February 2012 Page 11 6105 counseling, was not issued for a performance-related deficiency, but instead references a medical diagnosis he attained following grief counseling. 
 
      c.  Petitioner subsequently recovered from his Panic Disorder with agoraphobia diagnosis and was promoted to staff sergeant.  Furthermore, the medical diagnosis was not a performance-related deficiency.    
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board determined that Petitioner’s request warrants relief.  The Board found the information contained in the entry was not of permanent value to the Petitioner’s career and could have been documented in Petitioner’s medical records vice his OMPF.   The Board thus concluded that Petitioner’s page 11 entry, enclosure (2), shall be removed.
