Docket No: 08507-0 1
18 June 2002
Dear CO-
This is i n 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 13 June 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 Navy Personnel Command dated 15 February 2002, 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. The Board does not grant the naval flight officer (NFO) designator to an officer
who has never held it, as they consider this a matter for cognizant naval authorities.
However, they substantially concurred with the advisory opinion in concluding that your
request for NFO wings should be disapproved. In view of the above, 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 bi~rden is on the
applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
W. DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director

VT-10 until June 1984 during which time he was ranked 25 among 26
students, and was subsequently assigned to VT 86. His report of
fitness from VT-86 dated 4 October 1984 indicated that he
attrited from Advanced Navigation Officer Tra~~ning before
progressing to the evaluation stage of his academics and flight
training. He then received orders to Lowry Air Force Base where
he completed Intelligence Officer training in June 1985. After a
three-year fleet assignment as an Intelligence officer, he
separated from active duty and became an active participant in
the Naval Reserve program. He was promoted to the rank of
Commander in November 2000 and has completed more than 18 years
of qualifying service towards retirement. After continuously
serving in Selected Reserve (drill pay) billets until October
2001, he was assigned recently to a non-pay VTU unit where he
continues his career as a Naval Reserve officer.

recommend disapproval of his request for authorization to wear
the wings of a Naval Flight Officer.
