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



JRE
Docket No. 07394-07
11 January 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 10 January 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. In this regard, the Board concurred with the findings made in your case on 18 August 2003 by the Combat Related Special Compensation Branch, Naval Council of Personnel Boards, that your lower back disability is not combat related. In addition, the Board concluded that the available evidence is insufficient to warrant correcting your health record to show that you were engaged in training simulating war on 23 April 1971, when you injured your back. 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,

W. DEAN PFIEFFER        
Executive Director
