Docket No. 7003-05
10 May 06




This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 9 May 2006. 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 HQMC memorandum 1560 MRRV of 9 March 2006, 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

Block 15a on the SD 214 verifies that a “Member non ributei tn Post-Vietnam Era Veteran’s Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) .“ This block specifically pertains to members who made contributions to VEAP. Members who entered active duty after 1 July 1985 are not eligible to participate in VEAP. Based on the fact that entered active duty on 12 June 2000, the “no” reflected on his DD 214 is correct. The DD 214 does not have a “yes” or “no" block for information pertaining to the MGIB program, however, information may be added to block 18 as a remark. SD 214 currently reflects his enrollment and $1200.00 contribution to the MGIB program in block 18.
