COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 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 2 September 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 Community Management Support Branch memorandum 1160 Ser B328/017 of 27 January 2021; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. On 1 May 2014, you entered active duty for 4 years with an end of active obligated service (EAOS) of 30 April 2018 and soft active obligated service (SEAOS) of 30 April 2019. On 1 June 2017, you were issued official change duty orders (BUPERS order: ) with an obligated service to February 2020, while stationed in Camp , with an effective date of departure of August 2017.

Your ultimate activity was Camp for duty with an effective date of arrival of November 2019. In accordance with reference NAVADMIN 129/19 (11 June 2019), Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) and Pay for performance pilot update June 2019, did not authorize SRB for less than a 3-year term. Furthermore, no zone “A” SRB with an award level for the rate/NEC HM/L02A was authorized. In October 2019, you earned Navy Enlisted Classifications (NEC) L02A (Fleet Marine Force Reconnaissance Independent Duty Corpsman) and 840A (Scuba Diver). On 10 October 2019, you reenlisted for 2 years with an EAOS of 9 October 2021. On 15 October 2019, you signed a 14-month agreement to extend enlistment with an SEAOS of 9 December 2022. On 22 October 2019, you transferred and arrived to Camp on 21 November 2019 for duty. You requested an SRB for your prior reenlistment with a new effective date and term; 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 you were required to obligate service for orders, and at the time of your reenlistment, there was no zone “A” SRB for your NEC. 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, 10/4/2021
