     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.  Petitioner met the eligibility criteria for advancement under the STAR program in accordance with reference (b) and (c) and a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) with SRB Kicker per reference (d).  However, STAR and SRB with Kicker request was not submitted to the cognizant authority before reenlisting, thereby rendering Petitioner ineligible for STAR reenlistment, advancement, SRB and SRB Kicker.  Although the proper administrative requirements were not completed, the Board felt that under these circumstances, relief is warranted.
