Docket No. 8032-19
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 relevant portions of your naval record and your application, 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 18 August 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.  In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in , Community Management Support Branch memorandum 1160 Ser B328/180 of 1 October 2019; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 29 April 2013, you enlisted for 8 years.  On 4 December 2013, you entered active duty.  On 22 November 2015, you arrived to the     for duty, with a PRD (projected rotation date) of December 2020.  On 24 May 2018, you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 12 months in order to match EAOS (End Of Active Obligated Service) with your PRD, in accordance with NAVADMIN 307/17 (Alignment of enlistment contracts with duty station tour lenghts), published on 22 December 2017, which stated, “Effective immediately, to improve the alignment between the end of enlistment contract and tour lengths, all permanent change of station (PCS) orders will require OBLISERV for the full prescribed tour.”  
 
You requested the removal of your 24 May 2018 greement to extend enlistment for 12 months; 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 obligated yourself in order to align your EAOS with your Duty Station Tour length/PRD per OBLISERVE policy.  Furthermore, you provided no evidence that this was an error.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 

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,
