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 30 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.   
 
You requested to be retroactively advanced to E-6 by comparing Cycle 243 against the missed Cycle 240.  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  The Board concluded that in accordance with NAVADMIN 110/18, paragraph 2b, the minimum Time in Rate (TIR) date must be on or before 1 January 2016.  Your TIR date of 1 January 2017 did not meet this requirement.  The Board noted that you did receive an Early Promote evaluation to be eligible to receive a one year waiver from your Commanding Officer; however, there is no evidence of any approved CO waiver to participate in Cycle 240.  In this conclusion, the Board found no error or injustice to warrant a change to your record.   
 
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.
