DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
TRG
Docket No: 7388-05
19 October 2005
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 12 October
2005. 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.
In your first anniversary year in the Marine Corps Reserve, you were only
credited with 47 of the 50 retirement points necessary for a qualifying
year. Since then, you have earned nine consecutive qualifying years. You
are requesting that three retirement points be transferred from the
excess in a subsequent year so that the year will be qualifying for
retirement. You desire this correction so that you will be eligible for
the Armed Forces Reserve Medal.
The Navy and Marine Corps Awards Manual (SECNAVINST 1650.1G) states,
concerning the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, that individuals are eligible
if they complete a total of 10 years of honorable satisfactory service,
and the 10 years are performed during 12 consecutive years. Therefore, it
appears that you will be eligible for the medal when you earn 50
retirement points and complete your next anniversary year on 5 July 2006.
The Board would normally only transfer retirement points from one year to
another when failure to do so would prevent retirement or retirement at a
higher grade. Since these conditions do not apply to your case and you
are still able to earn the Armed
Forces Reserve Medal, the Board concluded that a correction to transfer
retirement points is not warranted.
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,
2
