      (2) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board), requesting that his naval record be corrected to reflect date of enlistment as 14 June 1984 vice 2 September 1984. 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of          , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 1 December 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 accordance with references (b) and (c), sexual orientation may not be a factor in accession, promotion, separation, or other personnel decision-making. 
 
     b.  On 6 January 1984, Petitioner enlisted in the Navy Reserve for a term of 6-years under the Delayed Entry Enlistment Program. 
 
     c.  On 2 August 1984, Petitioner entered active duty. 
 
     d.  On 11 July 1986, Petitioner was honorably discharged. 
 
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds no existence of an error.  However, in light of references (b) and (c), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting partial corrective action. 
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
Petitioner’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty dated 11 July 1986, is amended to reflect:  Block 25 (Separation Authority) “MILPERSMAN 1910-164”, Block 26 (Separation Code) “JFF”, Block 27 (Reenlistment Code) “RE-1J”, and Block 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) “Secretarial Authority”. 
 
Petitioner's request for corrective action that exceeds the foregoing is denied.  Petitioner failed to submit evidence to support his assertions and a review of his record does not contain proof to substantiate entry into active duty before 2 August 1984. 
                                                            
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.
