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 your application was not filed in a timely manner, the Board found it in the interest of justice to waive the statute of limitations and consider your case on its merits.  A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 14 November 2019.  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.   
 
A review of your record shows that you entered active duty with the Navy in May 1995.  You reported to the on 28 November 1995 and served onboard until your administrative separation for condition not a disability on 30 April 1997.  
 
The Board carefully considered your arguments that you deserve a change to your narrative reason for separation to disability.  You assert that your chronic motion sickness and associated symptoms should have qualified you for disability processing.  Unfortunately, the Board disagreed with your rationale for relief.  In order to qualify for military disability benefits, a service member must be unfit for continued naval service due to a qualifying disability condition.  In your case, the Board determined that your motion sickness was not a qualifying disability condition.  SECNAVINST 1850.4C specifically lists motion/travel sickness as a medical condition not considered a physical disability for Department of the Navy disability program purposes.  Accordingly, the Board determined that you were properly discharged for condition not a disability.  Therefore, the Board found insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant a change to your record. 
Regarding your requests for administrative changes to your DD Form 214 to list awards received while on active duty.  Your request is for an administrative correction that does not require action by this Board until you have formally requested a change to your record through the Navy.  You may submit your request to the Department of Navy, Navy Personnel Command (BUPERS), Code Pers-3C, 5720 Integrity Drive, Millington, TN 38055-3120.  If the Navy should deny your request, you may reapply to the Board with supporting evidence that a correction is required 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.
