REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD

Ref: (a) 10 U.S.C. 1552

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 dtd 23 Jan 09 w/attachments
(2) PERS-311 memo dtd 20 Feb 09
(3) Subject's ltr dtd 20 Mar 09

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject,
hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with
this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval
record be corrected by removing the fitness report of record for
1 November 2007 to 8 August 2008 signed by Petitioner on

11 August 2008 (copy at Tab A) and the reporting senior's
letter-supplement dated 24 November 2008 (copy at Tab B) and
filing in their place the more favorable fitness report for the
same period signed by Petitioner on 14 August 2008 (first
document attached to application in enclosure (1)).

2. The Board, consisting of Ms. Colbert and Messrs. Storz and
Tew, reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on
2 April 2009, and pursuant to its regulations, determined that
the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered
by the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and
applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record
pertaining to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice,
finds as follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law and

regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. Enclosure (1) was filed in a timely manner.
c. The only differences between the report of record and
the report Petitioner provides are that block 35 ("Military
Bearing/Character") of the report of record shows "4.0" (fourth
best of five possible marks), while the report Petitioner
provides shows "5.0" (best); block 45 of the report of record
shows a "Member Trait Average" and Summary Group Average" of
"4.67" while the report Petitioner provides shows "4.83" and
block 46 of the report of record shows Petitioner's signature
date as 11 August 2008, while the report he provides shows 14
August 2008.

d. The reporting senior's fitness report letter-supplement
says the change of block 35 from "4.0" to "5.0" was "due to

administrational error." Petitioner provides a letter dated
23 December 2008 from the reporting senior's staff (last
document attached to application at enclosure (1)), supporting

Petitioner's contention that the report of record should have
been destroyed, but was mistakenly forwarded for file in
Petitioner's record instead of the more favorable report he
requests entering in his record.

e. In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the Navy
Personnel Command office having cognizance over fitness reports
commented to the effect Petitioner's request should be denied,
as the. letter-supplement has been added to the record, and
Petitioner does not prove the contested report to be in error.

f. In enclosure (3), Petitioner's reply to enclosure (2),
he maintains the letter of 23 December 2008 from the reporting
senior's staff does establish that the report of record is
erroneous and should be replaced by the more favorable report.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record,
notwithstanding the contents of enclosure (2), and particularly
in light of the letter from the reporting senior's staff, the
Board finds an error and injustice warranting the following
corrective action:

RECOMMENDATION:

a. That Petitioner! s naval record be corrected by modifying
r 1 November 2007 to 8 August
MSN, on 1 August 2008 and by

 
  

2008, signed a

(2) Block 45: Change "Member Trait Average" and Summary

(3) Block 46: Change date of Petitioner's signature from

b. That his record be corrected further by removing the
reporting senior's fitness report letter-supplement dated
24 November 2008.

c. That any material or entries inconsistent with or
relating to the Board's recommendation be corrected, removed or
completely expunged from Petitioner's record and that no such
entries or material be added to the record in the future.

complete record of the Board's proceedings in the above entitled
matter.
