applicable statutes, regulations and policies.
In addition, the Board considered the advisory

It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be

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.
