DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490

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 1 June 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 B328/081 of 20 May 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 26 February 2013, you entered active duty with an EAOS of 25 February 2017 and SEAOS of 25 February 2018.  On 8 July 2014, you arrived to the for duty.  Your projected rotation date was February 2019.  On 22 December 2017, you reenlisted for 2 years with an EAOS of 21 December 2019.  On 21 August 2018, you were issued official change duty orders (BUPERS order: 2338) with an obligated service of March 2022.  On 11 March 2019, you reenlisted for 6 years with an EAOS of 10 March 2025 and received a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB), and transferred from your duty station. 
 
You requested that your SRB be corrected and that you be awarded 72 months vice 62 months of SRB; 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 required to OBLISERV within 30 days of receipt of your orders and prior to transfer.  You were permitted to reenlist over 6 months later on day of transfer and you received an SRB minus the months left on your previous contract.  The Board concluded that you were paid correctly.  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, 
7/19/2021
 
Deputy Director
