Docket  No:  05 172-0 1 
8 March  2002 

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.  You  requested  three years of 
entry  grade credit  for your  degree in  law. 

A  three-member  panel  of  the  Board  for Correction  of  Naval  Records, sitting  in  executive 
session, considered your  application on  7  March  2002.  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  the Chief,  Bureau  of  Medicine and  Surgery 
dated  10 August 2001,  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
