DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
JRE
Docket No. 00829-06
2 April 2007
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 29 March 2007. 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.
The Board found that you entered active duty in the Navy on 5
November 1973, not 5 November 1972 as you allege. You underwent
a pre-separation physical examination on 13 February 1974, and
were found fit for separation. You were discharged by reason of
inaptitude on 15 February 1974.
In the absence of evidence which demonstrates that you were unfit
for service by reason of physical disability, rather than
unsuitable for service, the Board was unable to recommend any
corrective action in your case. Accordingly, your application
has been denied. The names and votes of the members of the panel
will be furnished upon request.
The Board did not consider your request for correction of the
spelling of your surname on your DD Form 214, as that is an
administrative matter within the purview of the National
Personnel Records Center, 8700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis,
Missouri 63132.
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,
\s >
