Docket No: 0423501
14 November 2001
This is in reference to your letter dated 23 May 2001, seeking reconsideration of your
previous
a$l$ication for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10
of the United States Code, section 1552. Your previous case, docket number 04101-00, was
denied on 19 April 200 1.
Your allegations of error and injustice
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, reconsidered your case on 8 November 2001.
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
letter, together with all material submitted in support thereof, the Board
’s file on your prior
case, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. In addition, the
Board considered the advisory opinions furnished by the Medical Service Corps Officer
Community Manager, dated 26 July 2001, and the Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
dated 27 August 2001 with enclosure, copies of which are attached. The Board also
considered your letter dated 8 October 200 1.
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 opinions. Accordingly, the Board again voted to deny relief. 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,

This determination and subsequent actions by the Director, Medical Service Corps
represented a change in practice rather than policy as it was discovered the EGC given in
previous years was done so without closely following the established guidelines in
