To:    Secretary of the Navy  

Ref:  (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552

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 change reenlistment date and modify an immediate reenlistment contract. 

2.  The Board, consisting of        , reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on 18 October 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 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 executed a 3-year reenlistment on 31 May 2018 and received a Zone “A” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).  At the time of reenlistment, Petitioner had an End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS) of 24 September 2018.  In addition, Petitioner had an existing 12-month inoperative extension.  Based on these conditions, Petitioner only received a monetary award for 20-months of Additional Obligated Service (AOS).  The Board found that had Petitioner received properly counseling, he could have executed a 6-year reenlistment at EAOS to receive entitlement to a higher monetary award for 72-months, vice 20-months of AOS.  

RECOMMENDATION 

That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 

Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 23/24 September 2018 for a term of 6-years, vice 30/31 May 2018 for a term of 3-years. Note:  Petitioner’s AOS has been changed from 20-months to 72-months. 

Petitioner’s previous Zone “A” SRB payment for 20-months of AOS is adjusted to reflect Zone “A” entitlement for 72-months of AOS.   

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.
