DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100
BJG
Docket No: 6561-08
21 August 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.
It is noted that the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) has
directed modifying the contested fitness report for
30 August 2007 to 27 February 2008 by raising the mark in
section F.2 (“Developing Subordinates”) from “Cc” (fifth best of
seven possible marks) to “D” (fourth best).
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 20 August 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. In addition, the Board considered the
report of the Headquarters Marine Corps Performance Evaluation
Review Board, dated 3 July 2008, a copy of which is attached.
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 agreed with you that the
reporting senior’s comments suggested higher marks might have
been warranted in sections E.2 (“Effectiveness under Stress”)
and F.5 (“Communication Skills”), however, the Board was unable
to determine what marks would be appropriate. In view of the
above, your application for relief beyond that effected by CMC
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,
ROBERT D. SALMAN
Acting Executive Director
