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 was 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 4 May 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 Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps memorandum 5420 MMEA of 14 May 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 8 April 2013, you entered active duty with an ECC of 7 April 2018.  Later, you were extended for 7 months with an EAS of 7 November 2018.  On 2 July 2018, MARADMIN 370/18 was published listing a zone “B” SRB for MOS 2611, which was capped at $45,000 for 48 months of additional obligated service.  On 8 August 2018, you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 9 months with an EAS of 7 August 2019.  On 4 February 2019, you were returned and placed in a full duty status.  On 29 May 2019, MARADMIN 319/19 was published advising that Marines with an ECC during FY19 will no longer be eligible for an SRB.  A FY19 ECC is defined as any Marine who has an ECC on the date of reenlistment between 1 October 2018 and 30 September 2019.  On 3 July 2019, your 1STt Term Active Duty Lateral Move was submitted, and was approved by HQMC on 18 July 2019, for MOS 2611.  On 26 July 2019, you reenlisted for 4 years with an ECC of 25 July 2023.  On 1 September 2020, you were promoted to Staff Sergeant/E-6. 
 
You requested that you receive an SRB when you reenlisted in 2019; 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 MARADMIN 319/19 stated that FY19 SRB was terminated on 29 May 2019 prior to your 1ST Term Active Duty Lateral Move request and reenlistment.  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, 
     
6/14/2021
Deputy Director
