3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings:

Petitioner contends that the officer that issued the counseling requested that his entry be removed.  As evidence, Petitioner submitted enclosures (3), an advocacy letter from his former commanding officer.    
 
 b.  In enclosure (3), the officer that issued the counseling noted that after further review of Petitioner’s performance and the circumstance involved with the entry, he request that the counseling entry be removed.    
 
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board determined that Petitioner’s request warrants relief.  The Board noted enclosure (3), Petitioner’s advocacy letter requesting the removal of the counseling entry after further review and consideration of the circumstances.  In consideration of Petitioner’s former commanding officer’s request, the Board thus concluded that Petitioner’s 6105 page 11 entry shall be removed.
