Docket No: 4622-20 RE: Signature Date From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records To: Secretary of the Navy Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD ICO , USN RET, XXX-XX- Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. § 1552 Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments (2) Subject’s naval record 1. 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 her naval record be corrected to reflect paygrade as E4 and retirement/separation effective 17 June 2002. 2. The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 11 February 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, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy. The Board made the following findings: a. Navy Enlist Advancement System reflects Petitioner participated in the September 1998 Navy Wide Advancement Exam (Cycle 160) and advanced to Electronic Warfare Technician Third Class (EW3)/E4 effective 16 June 1999. Petitioner’s electronic service record reflects the advancement. b. Petitioner transferred to Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL) effective 16 June 1999. DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty reflect paygrade and rank as Electronic Warfare Technician Seaman (EWSN)/E3. c. Petitioner transferred from TDRL to Permanent Disability Retired List (PDRL) effective 17 June 2002 in the grade of EW3/E4. CONCLUSION Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following partial corrective action. The Board determined Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and HUNT reflect Petitioner was retired effective 16 June 1999; however, the rate and paygrade reflect Seaman (SN)/E3 with a date of rank effective 6 June 1999. Therefore, the Board felt under these circumstances, partial relief is warranted. RECOMMENDATION That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Petitioner’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release of Discharge from Active Duty dated 16 June 1999 is amended to reflect: Block 4.a (Grade, Rate or Rank) “EW3” vice “EWSN”, Block 4.b (Pay Grade) “E4” vice “E3” and Block 12.h (Effective Date of Pay Grade) “99JUN16” vice 96JUN17”. Note: Defense Finance and Accounting Service will complete an audit of Petitioner’s pay record to determine retroactive pay entitlement. The part of Petitioner’s request for corrective action that exceeds the foregoing is denied. Petitioner’s retirement date of 16 June 1999 reflects correctly in both DEERS and HUNT and does not require adjustment to align with subsequent date transferred to PDRL effective 17 June 2002. 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.
