BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 

2 NAW ANNEX 

WASHINGTON. D.C. 20370-5100 

JLP:ddj 
Docket No:  7204-98 
5 January  1999 

This is in  reference to  your application for correction of  your  naval  record  pursuant to  the 
provisions of  title  10 of  the United  States Code,  section  1552. 

A  three-member panel  of  the Board  for Correction of  Naval  Records,  sitting in  executive 
session, considered your application on  5 January  1999.  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,  your naval record  and 
applicable statutes, regulations and  policies.  In  addition, the Board  considered the advisory 
opinion furnished by  CMC  memorandum  140013 MMPR-2 of  8 December  1998, a copy of 
which  is attached. 

After careful and  conscientious consideration of  the entire record,  the Board  found that the 
evidence submitted  was  insufficient to establish the existence of  probable material error or 
injustice.  In  this connection, the Board  substantially concurred  with  the comments contained in 
the advisory opinion.  Accordingly,  your application has been  denied.  The names and votes of 
the members of  the panel  will  be  furnished upon  request. 

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  and  material 
evidence or other matter not  previously 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, 

W.  DEAN PFEIFFER 
Executive Director
