Ref:    (a) 10 U.S.C. 1552  
 
Encl:  (1) DD Form 149 (NR20200003311) 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of references (a), Petitioner, a former Navy Sailor, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting a change to her naval record, specifically, to change her reentry (RE) code of RE-4 to an RE code that would enable her to pursue re-enlistment.   
 
2.  The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on 16 June 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 her naval service records, 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.  It is in the interest of justice to review the application on its merits.   
 
    c.  Petitioner enlisted in the Navy and began a period of active duty on 3 June 2019.  Petitioner was discharged on 10 January 2020, on the basis of entry level performance and conduct, and received an uncharacterized discharge and an RE-4 reentry code. 
 
    d.  Petitioner requests that her RE-4 be changed so that she may reenlist.  She states that she requested a discharge from the Navy due to a hardship.  She would now like to reenlist and continue her service.  She asserts that she did not do anything wrong and that she initiated a release from service due to a personal reason.  She is now in a position to be able to rejoin. 
 
CONCLUSION: 
 
The Board considered Petitioner’s request and noted that Petitioner’s administrative separation package is not reflected in the available service record. The Board noted that Petitioner’s application indicates that she wishes to return to military service and that she is now in the position to do so.  In the absence of the administrative separation record and taking into account Petitioner’s statement that she initiated the separation due to personal circumstances which have been resolved, the Board determined that Petitioner is entitled to a change to her RE code from RE-4 to RE-3P.   
 
In view of the above, the Board directs the following corrective action: 
 
RECOMMENDATION: 
 
That Petitioner be issued a new Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) which reflects an RE-3P. 
 
That no further changes be made to the record. 
 
That a copy of this report of proceedings be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 
 
That upon request, the Department of Veterans Affairs be informed that Petitioner’s application was received on 28 April 2020. 
 
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 Regulation, 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.
