Docket No: 6414-01
6 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.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 28 February 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.
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.
The Board was unable to conclude that you suffered from oral cancer during your naval
service, which terminated in 1966, or that you were unfit by reason of physical disability at
that time. In this regard, it noted that you apparently confused the fibrous dysplasia of your
mandible, which was identified on 18 February 1963, as a cancerous growth. Available
records do not indicate that there were any residuals to the dysplasia or that you later
developed oral cancer. In addition, it noted that you were found physically qualified for
release from active duty on 24 February 1966. The physician who conducted the
examination did not note any disqualifying defects or conditions, and you did not report any
at that time.
In view of the foregoing, 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 submissidn 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
