Docket No: 06690-01
12 October 2001

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 removal of the
fitness reports for 5 September 1990 to 31 July 1991 and 1 August to 8 December 1991.

It is noted that the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) has directed that the contested
fitness report for 1 August to 8 December 1991 be modified by removing all but the first
sentence of the reporting senior’s comments in section C.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive
session, considered your application on 12 October 2001. 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 report of the Headquarters Marine Corps Performance Evaluation Review
Board 

(PERB), dated 16 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 warranting further correction. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred
with the comments contained in the report of the PERB.
application for relief beyond that effected by CMC has been denied. The names and votes of
the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

In view of the above, your
