BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX

WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
JRE

Docket No. 06758-07
1 July 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 19 June 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 existence of probable material
error or injustice.

The Board found that you were discharged form the Marine Corps
on 17 May 1985 by reason of pregnancy. You underwent a surgical
procedure on 4 June 2001, with a preoperative diagnosis of
internal derangement of the right knee. The postoperative
diagnosis was changed to degenerative lateral meniscus tears and
grade 2 chondromalacia. The results of that surgery and revised
dignoses do not demonstrate that your knee condition was
misdiagnosed as chondromalacia while you were on active duty
more than a decade earlier, or that you were unfit for duty by
reason of physical disability on the date of your discharge from
the Marine Corps. 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,
