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. 
 
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 8 October 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.   
 
You enlisted into the Marine Corps Reserve on 28 May 1980.  On 18 December 1981, you were commissioned and entered active duty.  On 15 December 1984, you were released from active duty and transferred to the Marine Corps Reserve.  On 27 November 1990, you were discharged.  On 31 March 2008, you re-affiliated with the Marine Corps Reserve.  As of 30 March 2019, you completed 18 years of satisfactory service.     
 
You requested 35 unpaid points be credited, or 35 inactive duty points be transferred, from anniversary year ending 30 March 2013 to anniversary year ending 27 May 1988.  The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  The Board determined that you had the opportunity to earn a satisfactory year during the period of 28 May 1987 to 27 November 1990.  Furthermore, from 28 November 1990 to 30 March 2008, you were not affiliated with the Marine Corps.  Every year since your return to the Marine Corps Reserve on 31 March 2008, however, you have received a 
satisfactory year.  The Board took into account the fact that you will not be able to complete 20 years of satisfactory service prior to your 62nd birthday in 2020 to allow you to retire.   
 
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.
