        (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 cancel the 8 September 2020 reenlistment for a term of 6-years. 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 29 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, 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.  In accordance with reference (b), members with exactly 6 years of active duty at 2400 on the date before the date or reenlistment or beginning of an extension of enlistment are entitled to a Zone “A” SRB if otherwise eligible and they previously have not received a Zone “A” SRB.  If member have received a Zone “A” SRB, or no Zone “A” SRB is designated, they are entitled to a Zone “B” SRB if all other eligibility requirements are met.  Reference (c) promulgated revised SRB award levels to Navy Administration message 272/19 and reflected bonus eligibility for Aviation Ordnanceman (AO) Sailors in Zones “A” and “C” but not for those in Zone “B”. 
 
     b.  Petitioner’s Active Duty Service Date is 8 September 2014. 

     c.  On 6 February 2018, Petitioner reenlisted for a term of 3-years and received a Zone “A” SRB.   
 
     d.  On 10 April 2019, 17-month extension to 6 February 2018 reenlistment was entered into Petitioner’s Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System record. 
 
     e.  Reference (d), authorized Petitioner to reenlist for 72-months on 8 September 2020 for a Zone “A” SRB.   
 
     f.  On 8 September 2020, Petitioner reenlisted for a term of 6-years. 
 
     g.  Reference (e), cancelled Petitioner’s SRB authorization. 
 
     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.  Petitioner executed a 6-year reenlistment on 8 September 2020 to receive an SRB in accordance with reference (d); however, he did not meet the eligibility criteria in accordance with references (b) and (c).  Therefore, the Board felt, under these circumstances, relief is warranted.
