        (3) 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 his naval record be corrected to show Petitioner was eligible for and received a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 15 April 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 6 January 2010, Petitioner entered active duty. 
 
     c.  On 20 November 2015, Petitioner reenlisted for 3 years. 
 
     d.  On 7 September 2016, Petitioner signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 14 months in order to incur sufficient service to execute BUPERS order: 2246.  Petitioner’s EAOS was 19 November 2018/SEAOS was 19 January 2020. 
 
     e.  In accordance with reference (b) [14 May 2018], this NAVADMIN announces revised Selective Reenlistment Bonus (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.  Reenlistment requests for the following SRB award levels will be approved  
based on quota availability.  SRB reenlistment requests for FTS are currently not being accepted.  SRB reenlistment requests for AC must be submitted to Community Management Support Branch (BUPERS-328) via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) or Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested reenlistment date for the Sailor. 

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.  Furthermore, a zone “B” SRB with an award level of 1.5 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the AO rate was authorized. 
 
     f.  On 1 October 2018, the Deputy Chief of Naval Personnel notified Petitioner that he was authorized immediate in-rate reenlistment in the Active Component with an end date of January 2020. 
 
     g.  On 18 October 2018, Petitioner’s Re-enlistment/Extension request form listing an SRB was approved by cognizant authority in late October 2018. 
 
     h.  On 30 November 2018, Petitioner reenlisted for 6 years. 
 
     i.  On 20 January 2020, Petitioner transferred from NRD Dallas. 
 
     j.  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 was approved for an SRB with a reenlistment date of 19 November 2018; however, due to administrative oversight, Petitioner reenlisted on 30 November 2018.  Petitioner’s agreement to extend enlistment for 14 months became operative on 20 November 2018, making him ineligible for the SRB.      
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 18/19 November 2018, vice on 29/30 November 2018 with a term of 6 years. 
 
Note: This change will entitle the member to a zone “B” SRB with an award level of 1.5 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the AO rate.   
                                                             
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.
