DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DCG 20370-5100
MEH
Docket No, 4368-11
19 Sep 11
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval
record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552.
AR three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
sitting in executive session, considered your application on 19
September 2011. 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 advisory opinion furnished by CNRC memo 1133 Ser 322, 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. In
this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments
contained in the advisory opinion. The Board also noted that during
your enlistment process the first page of the Record of Military
Processing (DD Form 1966), and the first page of the .
Enlistment/Reenlistment Document (DD Form 4), erroneously indicated
paygrade E-3. However, Block 21 of page 3 of the DD Form 4 correctly
reflects enlistment in the Navy in paygrade E-1. The paygrade error
of the first two documents was discovered by the MEPS Processor prior
to your accession to active duty and brought to your attention. To
document your understanding that you would be enlisted in paygrade
E-i, vice E-3, you executed an Advanced Paygrade Enlistment Statement
of Understanding that clearly stated “I am NOT eligible for advanced
paygrade.”
There are a number of advanced paygrade programs offered by the Navy.
Per COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8H, applicants may be awarded advanced
paygrade based on college eredits. Applicants who have satisfactorily
completed 48 semester or 72 quarter hours of college credit may be
enlisted in paygrade E-3.
Docket No. 4368-11
Based on documentation provided tc the Board, it appears your credits
were obtained from Apprenticeship or Job Corps programs. These
programs do not qualify for advanced paygrade. 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 also 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 PF
Executive Dir
