Ref:   Signature Date  

From:  Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records

Ref:  (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552 
      (b) OPNAVINST 1160.8A 

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments 
      (2) BUPERS memo 1160 Ser B328/102 of 26 Apr 19 
      (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 establish eligibility for a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 

2.  The Board, consisting of                , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 12 May 2020 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, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings: 

a.  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 met the basic eligibility criteria to execute Obligated Service to Train (OTT); however, because of administrative oversight, the process was not completed in accordance with reference (b) to garner approval of OTT, thereby rendering Petitioner ineligible for an SRB.  Although the proper administrative requirements were not completed, the Board felt that under these circumstances, relief is warranted. 

RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner’s NAVPERS 1070/601, Immediate Reenlistment Contract executed on 7 February 2019 for a term of 4-years is null and void. 

OTT and SRB requests were submitted and received by cognizant authority within 30-days of Petitioner receiving BUPERS Order: 3108; it was approved.
 
Petitioner signed NAVPERS 1070/621, Agreement to Extend Enlistment for a term of 3-months and NAVPERS 1070/613, Administrative Remarks agreeing to obligate service to December 2022 within 30-days of receiving BUPERS Order:  3108. 

Petitioner executed NAVPERS 1070/601, Immediate Reenlistment Contract on 27 January 2020 for term of 4-years. 

This change will entitle Petitioner to a Tier Three, Zone “A” SRB with an award level of 2.5 (             ) for the                     rating with Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) J00A. 

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

4.  It is certified that a 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 the reference, has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
