1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to show Petitioner’s August 2017 (Cycle 101) Navy Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) reflect education points. 

2.  The Board, consisting of                                         , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 24 January 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 record, 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, finds as follows:

     a.  Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

     b.  On 9 May 2006, Petitioner was awarded an Associates Degree from                  College.

     c.  In August 2017, Petitioner’s August 2017 (Cycle 101) NWAE listed education points of 0.00 points.   

     d.  In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject matter addressed in Petitioner’s application has commented to the effect that the request has merit and warrants favorable action. 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  The Board concluded that Petitioner’s Associates Degree was not taken under consideration when August 2017 (Cycle 101) NWAE was calculated.  Unfortunately, Petitioner pass not advanced (PNA) losing an opportunity to advance.
