Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD ICO 

Ref:  (a) Title 10 U.S.C. § 1552 

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments 
      (2) NRC ltr 1133 Ser N35 dtd 28 Jun 18 
      (3) Subject's naval record 

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 to void the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) from his Naval record. 

2. The Board, consisting of                                   , reviewed Petitioner's 
allegations of error and injustice on 29 March 2019 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, relevant portions of the Petitioner' s naval record, 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. In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject matter addressed in Petitioner's application has commented to the effect that the request has merit and warrants favorable action. 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action: Petitioner received entitlement to the SLRP under enlistment guarantee for Special Warfare Operator rating; however, Petitioner was disenrolled from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training and reclassified into a non-SLRP approved rating. Petitioner never received monetary installment for SLRP. Hence, Petitioner meets the requirements for removal of SLRP from Naval record. 

RECOMMENDATION 

That Petitioner's naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) material or entries be removed or completely expunged from Petitioner's record and offered entrance into the Montgomery GI Bill upon reclassification. 

A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner's naval record. 

4. It is certified that quorum was present at the Board's review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board's proceedings in the above entitled matter. 

5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6( e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
