DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON
DC 20370-5100



JRE
Docket No. 02347-07
25 March 2008





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 20 March 2008. 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 ex’istence of probable material error or injustice.

The Board found that you served on active duty in the Marine Corps from 25 April 1966 to 9 May 1968. There is no indication in the available records that you were unfit for further service by reason of physical disability when you were released from active duty, or that you suffered from Agent Orange-related diseases or hepatitis C at that time.

The issue of your entitlement to disability benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs is within the purview of that department, rather than the Department of the Navy.
        
In view of the foregoing, 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
Executive Director
