DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S COURTHOUSE ROAD SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON VA 22204-2490 
    
Docket No: 8235-19 
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 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. 
 
Although you did not file your application in a timely manner, the Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and consider your application on its merits.  A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 4 September 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 request a change to your name and date of birth on your DD Form 214.  You assert the birth year (  ) on your record is incorrect and the actual birth year is   .  You contend this false information should be corrected in the interest of the truth.  In support of your petition, you attached copies of:  a military identification card bearing the name “;” a social security card bearing the name “” (the SSN does not match the one in your record); and a birth certificate for “” with the date of birth “      ” (name of father “”).  Additionally, you provided a letter from Navy Personnel Command dated 15 March 2019, that reads in part,  “request for correction of your name and date of birth on DD 214 has conflicting information from your Official Military Performance File (OMPF),” and correspondence from the Social Security Administration addressed to “.” 
 
The Board noted that the documents you provided do not contain sufficient evidence to support your contention of error.  The name and date of birth on all documents on your OMPF, to include your three DD Form 214s, are “         ” and “     .”  
 
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,
