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

DocketNo. 1634-17 
DEC 18 2017 

Dear , 

This is in reference to your application for correction ofyour naval record pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 U.S.C. § 1552. 

A three-member panel of the Board for Correction ofNaval Records, sitting in executive session, 
considered your application on 29 September 2017. The names and votes ofthe members ofthe 
panel will be furnished upon request. Your allegations oferror and injustice were reviewed in 
accordance with administrative regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings ofthis 
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted ofyour application, together 
with all material submitted in support thereof, relevant portions ofyour naval record and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. The advisory opinion provided in Navy Personnel 
Command memorandum 1160 Ser 813/077 dated 8 June 2017 was sent to you on 27 July 2017 
for an opportunity to comment prior to being considered by the Board. A copy of this advisory 
opinion is again enclosed. After the 30 day period for comment expired without a response, the 
case was presented to the Board. 

After careful and conscientious consideration ofthe entire record, the Board found that the 
evidence submitted was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or 
injustice. You requested to execute a 6 year reenlistment on 22 August 2012 with the intent to 
receive entitlement to a zone "A" Selective Reenlistment Bonus. The Board, in its review of 
your entire record and application, carefully weighted all potentially mitigating factors, to 
include your assertions. Nevertheless, the Board concluded that you were not entitled to reenlist 
on 22 August 2012 due to the absence ofa valid C-Way quota which is considered a requirement 
for all members who seek to reenlist with less than 14 years ofservice who are below the grade 
ofE-7. The Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
Accordingly, your application has been denied. 

It is regretted that the circumstances ofyour case are such that favorable action cannot be taken 
at this time. You are entitled to have the Board reconsider its decision upon the submission of 
new and material evidence. New evidence is evidence not previously considered by the Board. 
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a presumption ofregularity attaches to all 
official records. Consequently, when applying for a correction ofan official naval record, the 
burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the existence ofprobable material error or injustice. 

Sincerely, 

Executive Director
