Dear ,  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code.  After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied.     
 
A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 16 February 2021.  The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.  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, relevant portions of your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.  In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in Branch Head, Community Management Support Branch memorandum 1160 Ser B328/067 of 20 April 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 19 August 2014, you entered active duty for 4 years and signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 12 months.  On 16 July 2017, you were advanced to Petty Officer Third Class/E-4.  On 4 January 2018, you were issued official change duty orders (BUPERS order: 0048) from ,  to ,  with an obligated service of April 2024.  On 16 February 2018, you reenlisted for 6 years under the Career designated under MILPERSMAN 1160-100.  On 6 March 2018, you transferred, and arrived to ,  for duty under instruction on 22 March 2018.  On 16 June 2020, you were advanced to Petty Officer Second Class/E-5.  On 28 August 2020, upon completion of school you departed, and you arrived to  for duty on 15 September 2020.   
 
You requested to expunge your current reenlistment dated 16 February 2018 and approved for obligated service to train (OTT); the Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions.  However, the Board concluded that you were approved and reenlisted for the Selective Training and Reenlistment (STAR) Program.  Furthermore, in accordance with OPNAVINST 1160.8A the new rating/NEC/skill must be designated for award of an SRB at the time of the agreement to obligate service to train.  NAVADMIN 311/17 dated 22 December 2017 and MARADMIN 032/18 dated 15 February 2018 listed no SRB for HM 8708 (L35A) for zone “A”.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149.  New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board.  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,
