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

regulations and policies.

insufficient to establish the existence of probable material

The Board could not find any indication in your Navy health
record that you were sexually assaulted in 2002, as you allege,
or that you were experiencing any of the hallmark symptoms of
posttraumatic stress disorder during your period of naval
service. The Board concluded that there is no credible evidence
that were unfit for duty by reason of physical disability
because of posttraumatic stress disorder, a depressive disorder,
or other ratable mental or physical disorder. Accordingly, your
application has been denied. The names and votes of the members
of the panel will be furnished upon request.

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,
Executive Director
