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 show Petitioner reenlisted on 18 November 2018 and was eligible for and received a zone “C” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 2. The Board, consisting of , , and , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 19 August 2021 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, 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. On 13 November 2008, Petitioner entered active duty. c. In March 2011, Petitioner earned NEC 1330. d. On 29 September 2015, Petitioner reenlisted for 4 years with an End of Active Obligated Service (EAOS) of 28 September 2019. e. In accordance with reference (b) [14 May 2018], this NAVADMIN announces revised SRB award levels and reenlistment policy for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time Support (FTS), and supersedes reference (a). Increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN. Sailors must reenlist within 180 days of their EAOS, except in the following cases: a. Nuclear-trained Sailors. b. Sailors eligible for combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) are authorized to reenlist anytime within 1 calendar year of their EAOS. c. Sailors who received an Early Promote in block 45 of their most recent regular periodic evaluation will be allowed to reenlist early any time within one calendar year of their EAOS. d. Sailors who must OBLISERV to execute a permanent change of station (PCS) move will be allowed to reenlist early any time within one calendar year of the detachment month, but not later than the date of detachment from the last intermediate duty station. Commands are required to submit SRB reenlistment requests to BUPERS-328 via OPINS or NSIPS 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested reenlistment date of the Sailor. Requests submitted less than 35 days prior to the requested reenlistment date will be rejected. However, commands may contact BUPERS-328 for waiver eligibility and procedures. Sailors must have an approved SRB request before reenlisting. Furthermore, a zone “C” SRB with an award level of 2.0 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the FT/13XX rate/NEC was authorized. f. On 25 September 2018, Petitioner was issued official change duty orders (BUPERS order: 2688) with required obligated service to May 2022, and OBLISERV must be obtained within 30 days of receipt of these orders and prior to transfer. Furthermore, he was directed to an ultimate activity for duty at , . g. On or about 10 October 2018, Petitioner signed a command career request (NPPSC 1160/1) requesting a 6 year reenlistment effective 18 October 2018. Petitioner’s request was approved by cognizant authority on 18 October 2018. h. On 14 October 2018, Petitioner’s SRB request was approved for a 6-year reenlistment effective 18 October 2018. i. On 18 October 2018, Petitioner reenlisted for 6 years with an EAOS of 17 October 2024. j. On 26 October 2018, Petitioner transferred from NSSC PH, and arrived to SSN 782 MS for duty on 12 November 2018. k. On 13 November 2018, Petitioner crossed out of zone “B.” l. In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject matter addressed in Petitioner’s application has commented to the effect that the request has merit and warrants favorable action. CONCLUSION Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action. The Board concluded that Petitioner reenlisted effective 18 October 2018, while he was still in zone “B,” in order to satisfy the service obligation of BUPERS order: 2688. Petitioner had already received a zone “B” SRB for a previous reenlistment; therefore, he was ineligible to be paid another. In order for Petitioner to receive a zone “C” SRB, he would have had to reenlist on or after 13 November 2018, after Petitioner arrived to his new duty station. The Board concluded that an exception to policy is necessary to allow Petitioner to reenlist effective 18 November 2018, as recommended in enclosure (2). In accordance with reference (b), sailors must reenlist within 180 days of their EAOS. RECOMMENDATION That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Petitioner executed an Administrative Remarks (NAVPERS 1070/613) on 25 September 2018, to extend on active duty for an additional 32 months. Note: this action was required to incur sufficient obligated service to execute BUPERS order: 2688. Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 17/18 November 2018 vice 17/18 October 2018 for a term of 6 years. Note: This change will entitle the member to a zone “C” SRB with an award level of 2.0 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the FT/13XX rate/NEC. Remaining obligated service to 28 September 2019 will be deducted from SRB computation. 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. 9/7/2021 Deputy Director
