Docket No: NR9775-14
Z3 October 2O14
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 cf the
United States Code, section 1552.
You requested modifying section K (reviewing officer’s marks and
comments) of the fitness reports for 1 July 2012 to 6 March 2013
and 26 April to 30 June 2023. You also requested that the
report for 26 April to 30 June 2013 be modified by changing the
entry in section A, item 8.h (“Status”) from “F” (indicating
your promotion preference is first sergeant) to “M” (indicating
your promotion preference is master sergeant).
It is noted that the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) has
airected the requested change to the entry in section A, item
8.h of the report for 26 April to 30 June 2013.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 23 October 2014. 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
report of the Headquarters Marine Corps Performance Evaluation
Review Board (PERB), dated 20 August 2014, 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 report of the PERB.
Accordingly, your application for relief beyond that effected by
CMC 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
evidence within one year from the date of the Board’s decision.
New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board
prior to making its decision in this case. 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,
ROBERT J. O'NEILL
Executive Director
