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 show Petitioner reenlisted on 13 November 2020 vice 6 November 2020 and was eligible for and received a Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 2. The Board, consisting of Ms. , Ms. , and Mr. , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 10 June 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 16 November 2016, Petitioner entered active duty for 4 years with an EAOS of 15 November 2020. c. In accordance with reference (b) [15 April 2020], This NAVADMIN announces revised selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) policy for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time Support (FTS), superseding reference (a). Sailors must now reenlist within 365-days of their end of active obligated service (EAOS) (as opposed to 270-days required in reference (a)), except in the case of Nuclear-trained Sailors who can reenlist at any point in the reenlistment zone, per guidance in reference (b). d. On 2 October 2020, Petitioner signed a NPPSC 1160/1 (Command Career Request) requesting a 6 year reenlistment effective 6 November 2020, and was approved by cognizant authority on 5 October 2020. e. In accordance with reference (c) [28 October 2020], FY21 SRB Award Plan (N13SRB 001/FY21) listing a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.5 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the CTR rate was authorized with the following notes: “The Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) 0000, commonly referred to as quad zero, is listed here to establish that Sailors in these ratings/career fields can hold any or no NEC and still be qualified for the SRB provided they meet all other applicable non-NEC related criteria..” and “An SRB approval for all CT, IS, IT and ITS ratings will be contingent upon the Sailor having a current Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or Tier 5 investigation, an active SSBI/Tier 5 or recent submission of an SSBI/Tier 5 package. Commands must verify the Sailor has a current SSBI/Tier 5, active SSBI/Tier 5 or has submitted an SSBI/Tier 5 package and make a note of this in the comments section of the precertification request.” f. On 29 October 2020, Petitioner’s SRB reenlistment request was approved for a 6 year reenlistment effective 13 November 2020. g. On 6 November 2020, Petitioner reenlisted for 6 years with an EAOS of 5 November 2026. h. On 23 November 2020, Petitioner’s SRB reenlistment request was cancelled. i. 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 Petitioner’s reenlistment was erroneously entered as 6 November 2020 rather than 13 November 2020 and the SRB authorization was cancelled due to the reenlistment date not matching the SRB approval date. RECOMMENDATION That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 12/13 November 2020, vice on 5/6 November 2020 for a term of 6 years. Note: This change will entitle the member to a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.5 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the CTR rate. Remaining obligated service to 15 November 2020 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. 7/23/2021 Deputy Director
