This is in reference to your application for correction of your

injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this

support thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes,
regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered the
reports of the Headquarters Marine Corps Performance Evaluation
Review Board (PERB), dated 25 April 2013 and 15 April 2014,

with enclosures.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire

error or injustice. In this connection, the Board substantially
concurred with the comments contained in the reports of the
PERB. 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

Pay
! 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,
