      (3) Subject’s naval record 
 
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 mark the anniversary year ending 27 April 2017 as a satisfactory year and reinstate the previously awarded points. 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 12 November 2019 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 21 August 2000, Petitioner entered the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) and completed the NROTC on 27 April 2005. 
 
     c.  On 28 April 2005, Petitioner was commissioned into the Marine Corps Reserve. 
 
     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 partial merit and warrants partial 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 agreed that upon commissioning, Petitioner’s anniversary  
date was established in error and when changed in 2018, satisfactory years and points were lost.  The Board agreed that HQMC already credited all available points back to Petitioner’s record except for any membership points while in the NROTC.  The Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following partial corrective action.   
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
Petitioner is credited with 14 non-paid drill points to the anniversary year ending 27 April 2017.  This action will establish a satisfactory year for the 27 April 2017 anniversary year. 
 
In so far as Petitioner's request for corrective action that exceeds the foregoing, the Board concurred with the advisory opinion.  It is against the law to award any points while serving in the NROTC program.     
                                                             
A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 
 
4.  It is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter. 
 
5.  Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
