DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 

Docket No. 7885-20 

Dear , 

This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code. After careful and conscientious consideration of relevant portions of your naval record and your application, the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) found the evidence submitted insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice. Consequently, your application has been denied. 

A three-member panel of the Board, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 3 June 2021. The names and votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations of error and injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of your application, together with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions of your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. In addition, the Board considered the advisory opinion contained in Branch Head, Community Management Support Branch memorandum 1160 Ser B328/157 of 17 November 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 

On 10 June 2000, you enlisted for 8 years in the U.S. Naval Reserve with an EOS of 9 June 2008. On 27 June 2000, you entered active duty and were released from active duty and transferred to the Naval Reserve on 26 August 2005. On 10 January 2006, NAVADMIN 013/06 was published and listed to a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 3.0 ($45,000 award ceiling) for the ET/1571 rate/NEC. On 12 June 2006, you reenlisted for 4 years with an EAOS of 11 June 2010. On 22 June 2007, you graduated from AIMS MK XII IFF (931G) and earned NEC 1571. 

You requested that you receive an SRB for your 12 June 2006 reenlistment. The Board, in its review of your entire record and application, carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, to include your assertions. However, the Board concluded that at the time of your reenlistment, you did not hold NEC 1571, which was required for SRB eligibility. In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 

You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new matters, which will require you to complete and submit a new DD Form 149. New matters are those not previously presented to or considered by the Board. In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records. Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 
7/19/2021
