From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records To: Secretary of the Navy Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD OF Ref: (a) 10 U.S.C. § 1552 (b) BUPERSINST 1610.10D Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/enclosures (2) Evaluation Report and Counseling Record of 2 Mar 12 to 15 Mar 13 (3) NPC memo 1610 PERS-32 of 24 Sep19 1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, an enlisted member of the Navy, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting correction to her Evaluation Report and Counseling Record (Eval). 2. The Board, consisting of reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 15 October 2020, and pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of Petitioner’s naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. 3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, found as follows: a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulation within the Department of the Navy. b. Petitioner was issued enclosure (2), an Eval for the reporting period 2 March 2012 to 15 March 2013. Block 20 (Physical Readiness) is marked with the code “FB.” The “F” indicates that Petitioner failed her physical fitness assessment (PFA), and the “B” indicates that she passed the body composition assessment (BCA) but was authorized non-participation in the physical readiness test (PRT) for other than medical waiver reasons. c. Petitioner contends that the physical readiness code “FB” is incorrect, and that her Physical Readiness Information Management System (PRIMS) report correctly reflects that she passed Cycle 12-2 BCA and was a nonparticipant due to PCS. She also contends that the Cycle 13-1 was not conducted until 6 May 2013 and therefore could not have been coded on this Eval. d. Enclosure (3) is an advisory opinion (AO) furnished by the Navy Personnel Command (PERS-32). The AO recommended Petitioner’s request to modify her Eval be approved. PERS-32 conducted a review of Petitioner's PRIMS record and determined that the contested Eval should document the PFA periods for Cycle 12-2 and 13-1, and that the physical readiness code in Block 20 should be corrected to reflect “BP” vice “FB.” The AO noted that, pursuant to reference (b), a correction to block 20 would be a supplemental change requiring a Letter-Supplement for a revised evaluation report from the original reporting senior. The AO noted that the original reporting senior may submit supplementary material within two years after the ending date of the report, but also noted that the report in question exceeds this period. CONCLUSION Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the AO, the Board determined that Petitioner’s request warrants relief. The Board noted that Petitioner’s Eval, Block 20 is incorrectly coded “FB” instead of “BP.” The Board also noted that, pursuant to reference (b), the error can be corrected if her reporting senior submits a Letter-Supplement for inclusion with the Eval in Petitioner’s official military personnel file. The Board noted, however, that the Eval was written over seven years ago, and that obtaining a Letter-Supplement from the original reporting senior may not be possible. The Board thus concluded that a Letter-Supplement is not practical, and that the Navy Personnel Command shall instead edit Block 20 of Petitioner’s contested Eval to reflect “BP” vice “FB.” RECOMMENDATION In view of the above, the Board recommends the following corrective action. Petitioner’s naval record be corrected by modifying enclosure (2), her Eval for the reporting period 2 March 2012 to 15 March 2013 by editing Block 20 (Physical Readiness) to reflect “BP” vice “FB.” 4. It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above-entitled matter. 5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)), and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy. Sincerely, 11/21/2020 Deputy Director
