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 show Petitioner reenlisted for 4 years and was eligible for and received a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 
                                               
2.  The Board, consisting of    reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 25 March 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 8 March 2017, Petitioner entered active duty. 
 
     c.  In accordance with reference (b) [11 June 2019], this NAVADMIN announces revised Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) award levels and reenlistment policy for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time Support (FTS), superseding 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 listed 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 the 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 end of active obligated service (EAOS), except in the following cases: Nuclear-trained Sailors, Sailors who must obligate service (OBLISERV) to execute a permanent change of station move will be allowed to reenlist early any time within 1 Calendar Year of the detachment month, but not later than the date of detachment from the last intermediate duty station, and Combat zone tax exclusion and Early Promote (EP) Sailors who submitted SRB requests on or before the release of NAVADMIN 302/18, Selective Reenlistment Bonus Update December 2018 and the Implementation of a Pay for Performance Pilot, will be grandfathered under paragraph 5 of reference (e).  Furthermore, a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.0 (30,000 dollar award ceiling) for the EN rate was authorized.   
 
     d.  On 22 July 2019, Petitioner’s command was notified by Commander, Navy Personnel Command that she was approved for an SRB with a reenlistment effective date of 1 August 2019 for 4 years. 
 
     e.  On 1 August 2019, Petitioner reenlisted for 3 years.   
 
     f.  On 22 August 2019. Petitioner transferred, and arrived to USS San Diego (LPD-22) for duty on 24 September 2019. 
 
     g.  On 25 March 2020, Petitioner signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 14 months in order to match end of active obligated service (EAOS) with Projected Rotation Date (PRD) of September 2023.  
 
     h.  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 due to an administrative error, Petitioner’s reenlistment contract listed a term of 3 years vice 4 years.  This error affected Petitioner’s payment for SRB.    
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
The immediate reenlistment contract (NAVPERS 1070/601) executed on 1 August 2019 was for a term of 4 years, vice 3 years. 
 
The agreement to extend enlistment (NAVPERS 1070/621) executed on 25 March 2020 was for a term of 2 months, vice 14 months. 
 
Note: This change will entitle the member to a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.0 (30,000 dollar award ceiling) for the EN rate.  Remaining obligated service to 7 March 2021 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.
