Dear Sergeant

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 24 February 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 report of the Headquarters Marine Corps
Performance Evaluation Review Board (PERB), dated 19 January 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 report of
the PERB. The Board noted that a signature purportedly yours does appear in
sections J.2 and K.6 of the contested fitness report. 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 burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable
material error or injustice.







                                        Sincerely,




                                        W.    DEAN PFEIP~FER

     MEMORANDUM FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL
                           RECORDS

     Subj:  MARINE CORPS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REVIEW BOARD (PERB) ADVISORY
             OPINION ON BCNR APPLICATION IN THE CASE OF SERGEAN
      Ref:  (a) Sergeant     D Form 149 of 23 Aug 05
             (b) MCO P1610.7E w/Ch 1-9

     1.     Per MCO 1610.11C, the Performance Evaluation Review Board, with
     three members present, met on 4 January 2006 to consider Sergeant ~- s
     petition contained in reference (a) . Removal of the fitness report for
     the period 20040401 to 20040721 (CH) was requested. Reference (b) is
     the performance evaluation directive governing submission of the
     report.

     2.     The petitioner contends the report is unjust and
     administratively incorrect because he was not counseled nor did he sign
     the report. He also believes the report is erroneous because he was
     neither charged nor prosecuted of any offense as a result of the
     incident that was the basis for the adverse report.

     3.     In its proceedings, the PERB concluded that the report is
     administratively correct and procedurally complete as written and
     filed. The following is offered as relevant:

         a. Per paragraph 5001.3a(1) of reference (b), a report is rendered
     adverse when the reporting senior marks block 6b when the MRO is the
     subject of derogatory material received from outside of the reporting
     chain or within the reporting chain above the RO level. In this case,
     the adverse nature of the report centered around the petitioner’s
     receipt of the page 11 counseling entry, using bad judgment in front of
     junior Marines while off-duty. He does not provide any substantive
     evidence to refute the validity of the page 11 counseling entry.

         b. The petitioner was afforded the opportunity to make a rebuttal
     statement, and in his statement he does not dispute the contents of the
     report.










Subj: MARINE CORPS PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REVIEW BOARD (PERB) ADVISORY
         OPINION ON BCNR APPLICA QN IN THE CASE OF


     c.     The petitioner does not provide any evidence that a failure to
counsel him played any part in the incident that resulted in the adverse
nature of the report. A review of the petitioner’s record shows that the
petitioner acknowledged the report and certified his rebuttal statement,
which mentions receiving counseling from his chain of command and his
minister.

4.    The Board’s opinion, based on deliberation and secret ballot vote, is
that the contested fitness report should remain a part of Sergeant
official military record.

5.    The case is forwarded for final action.
