Docket No. 10471-08
24 November 2009
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 November 2009. 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 disembarked in Chu Lai Vietnam on 2
August 1966. You were issue a Military Assistance Command
Vietnam ration card on 5 August 1966, which was turned in on 26
August 1966. In addition, you were given credit for
participating in four combat operations in Vietnam during the 18
June-17 August 1966 period.
The Board concluded that the available evidence is insufficient
to warrant the correction of your record to show that you served
in Vietnam during periods other than those noted above.
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon
request.
The Board noted that you may be entitled to awards and/or
decorations for your service in Vietnam other than the Armed
Forces Expeditionary Medal you have already received. In this
regard, you should contact the Commandant of the Marine Corps
and request that your record be reviewed and that you be issued
any awards and/or decorations to which you are entitled. If you
are dissatisfied with the results of that review, you may
reapply to this Board.
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,
\weee’
