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 9 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.   
 
The Board carefully considered your request to remove your 4 January 2018, Administrative Remarks (page 11) 6105 counseling entry.  The Board considered your contention that the Marine Corps Recruiting Station   Campaign Plan 1-17 is not a punitive directive.  You also contend that your page 11 entry was made in haste after the recruiting station failed to make mission during November and December 2017.  You claim that all recruiters not at or above the required standard received 6105 page 11 entries for substandard performance.  You also claim that a disagreement with your Commanding Officer affected his decision to issue your page 11 without consideration for the command’s decisions that placed you in that position.  As evidence, you furnished your fitness reports and character statements.     
 
The Board noted that pursuant to paragraph 6105 of the Marine Corps Separation and Retirement Manual, you were issued a 6105 entry for failing to meet the minimum requirements to be removed from probation status of the substandard performance program, and the entry notified you of your continuation in the program for three additional months.  The Board also noted that pursuant to the Marine Corps Individual Records Administration Manual (IRAM), you were properly counseled and determined that the contested entry was written and issued according to the IRAM.  Specifically, the entry provided written notification concerning your deficiencies, specific recommendations for corrective action, where to seek assistance, the consequences for failure to take corrective action and afforded you the opportunity to submit a rebuttal.  Moreover, your CO signed the entry, and determined that your misconduct was a matter essential to record, as it was his/her right to do.  The Board determined that your page 11 entry is an administrative action that properly documented your substandard performance and is not punitive in nature.  Further, the Board found no evidence that your chain of command acted contrary to regulations and you provided none.  Accordingly, the Board concluded that there is no probable material error, substantive inaccuracy, or injustice warranting corrective action. 
 
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, 
 
Executive Director
