This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of 10 USC 1552.

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your-
application on 26 August 2013. 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.

The Board also notes that you have applied for a correction to
your record for an error that allegedly occurred more than 30
years ago. Under the rules governing this Board, an application
for a correction of a naval record must be made within three
years after the discovery of the alleged error. Failure to file
within the prescribed three years may be excused only in cases
where the Board finds that it is in the interests of justice to
do so,

Navy enlisted advancements are based on a competitive system
that encompasses a variety of performance factors including a
candidate’s overall performance, technical knowledge, military
proficiency, performance of duty, conduct, education, physical
fitness, time in service, time in grade, experience, awards,
decorations, and the like. Before candidates may be advanced,
they must have the favorable recommendation of their commanding
officer. Personnel within each rating (job) compete with each
other for a limited number of promotion vacancies. It is
possible, even common, for a candidate to receive a passing
score on an advancement exam and/or to complete Minimum required
advancement courses, but still not be actuaily advanced. Only.
those qualified candidates for whom vacancies exist are

Although you neglected. to assert your claim for an inordinately
long period of time without justification and you provided no
evidence as to why you did not seek to have the alleged error
corrected earlier, the Board still.decided to review your -case. -
Therefore, after careful and cons¢ientiocus consideration of the.
entire record, the Board determined that there is insufficient
evidence of an error or injustice that would warrant any relief.

Additionally, there is no evidence that you were or should have
been advanced beyond pay grade E-2 prior to your discharge. As
explained above, a commanding officer's recommendation is also
required. Finally, you may seek an administrative remedy to
obtain your ribbons that you believe that you are entitled to.
You may contact the National Personnel Record Center, Military -
Persorinel Record, 9700 Page Avenue, St..Louis, Missouri, 63132-
5100. Based on the circumstances described above, -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 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,

Ly Dead
