Dear : 
 
This letter is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code.  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 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 13 October 2020.  The names and votes of the panel members 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 the 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 remove the 4 December 2012 Administrative Remarks (Page 11) 6105 counseling entry in your Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) pertaining to your disenrollment from the Drill Instructor (DI) School and your rebuttal to the entry dated 10 December 2012.  You contend that the Page 11 is invalid because it did not meet the requirement set forth in MCO 1070.12K to include the statement “I am advised that failure to take corrective action may result in administrative separation or limitation on further service” in all Administrative Separation Counselings, and because the Director of the DI School who signed the 6105 entry did not perform the counseling.  The Board also considered your contention that the adverse fitness report you received subsequent to your disenrollment from the DI School rendered the 6105 counseling unnecessary and resulted in redundant adverse comments in your OMPF. 
 
The Board noted that you accepted responsibility for failing to meet the physical training standards at DI School in your response to the Page 11 entry and in your statement to the adverse fitness report.  The Board also noted that the Page 11 entry provided written notification concerning your deficiencies, specific recommendations for corrective action indicating available assistance, a comprehensive explanation of the consequences of failure to successfully take the recommended corrective action, and a reasonable opportunity to undertake the recommended corrective action.  Specifically, the 6105 counseling entry stated “Failure to take corrective action may result in judicial or adverse administrative action, including but not limited to administrative separation.” 
 
The Board determined that the entry met the 6105 counseling requirements detailed in MCO 1900.16 (MARCORSEPMAN).   Moreover, the Board noted there is no prohibition to the issuance of both a Page 11 6105 counseling entry and an adverse fitness report based on the same deficiency.  The Board thus concluded that your Page 11 6105 counseling is administratively and procedurally correct as written and filed, and that the entry, along with your response, shall remain in your OMPF.  
 
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,
