Dear ,  
 
This 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 24 November 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 back date a high year tenure (HYT) waiver through 31 July 2018, be considered for a special enlisted promotion board, rescind transfer to the Volunteer Training Unit (VTU), compensation for all Inactive-duty training (IDT) periods completed in a non-pay status after 1 May 2017 upon approval of aforementioned HYT waiver request.  The Board, in its review of relevant portions of your naval record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  However, the Board concluded that Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS-32) approved your HYT waiver on 8 January 2016 to remain in the Selected Reserve through 30 April 2017.  Subsequently you submitted another HYT waiver on 2 December 2016 that was favorably endorsed by your Commanding Officer on 18 January 2017 but denied by BUPERS-32 in February 2017 due to 106% manning levels.  As such, you were required to transfer to the VTU effective 1 May 2017, thereby ineligible for monetary compensation for IDT periods completed while assigned to a non-pay unit.  Additionally, your request for a special enlisted promotion board was approved in your previous case; Docket No. 5724-17.  On 12 March 2020, a Fiscal Year 2017 Navy Reserve E8 Enlisted Special Selection Board convened; however, you were not selected for advancement. 
 
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,
