Dear   
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code.  After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied.     
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 2 March 2021.  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.  In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps memorandum 1900 MMSR of 6 April 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment.    
On 13 September 2003, you enlisted for 8 years in the  .  On 22 January 2006, you enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.  On 4 June 2006, you arrived to  .  On 18 October 2006, a request for conditional release was issued, valid until 18 June 2007.  On 18 June 2007, you graduated from the , and you were commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine corps.  On 22 September 2007, you entered active duty and arrived to The Basic School.  On 17 June 2018, you were discharged (Interdepartmental transfer).  
 
You requested that your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active duty (DD Form 214) block 12a (Date entered AD this period) reflect 18 June 2007, and block 18 (Remarks) reflect a Pay Entry Base Date of 4 June 2006; the Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  However, the Board concluded that your Armed Forces Active Duty Base Date should be 22 September 2007, the date you entered active duty to attend The Basic School.  Furthermore, DoD 7000.14-R FMR Volume 7A, Chapter 1 states do not use any service that is not listed as creditable service to compute a basic pay date. The following list includes a few types of service that are not creditable: For an officer, the time served while attending a military service academy including the .  Your PEBD is 18 June 2007.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
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.   
 
      Sincerely,
