2. The Board, consisting of                                      , reviewed Petitioner's 
allegations oferror and injustice on 13 July 2017 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 ofthe enclosures, naval records, 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 2 February 2017, Petitioner separated from the Navy with an Honorable characterization of service, a separation code of"JBK," which indicated involuntary separation, and a reenlistment code of RE-6, which indicates High Year Tenure (HYT). 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the fact that the Petitioner served 8 years of active service and otherwise qualifies for full ISP, the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action. 

RECOMMENDATION 

That Petitioner's naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 

Note: Payment of non-disability full (10%) or half (5%) separation pay is authorized to the member who has entered into a written agreement with the Navy Personnel Command, prior to separating from active duty, to serve in the Ready Reserve for a period of not less than 3 years immediately following separation from active duty. This 3 year service obligation is in addition to any other remaining service obligation. Evidence of the Petitioner's commitment to this additional obligated service must be included in the Petitioner's record prior to the release of Involuntary Separation Pay (ISP). However, additional obligated service may be waived by Navy Personnel Command, Individual Ready Reserve, Mobilization and Force Management Division. 

Petitioner is authorized payment of"full" Involuntary Separation Pay (ISP) based on his discharge which occurred on 2 February 2017. 
Note: the separation pay described above will be offset by any Veterans Disability Compensation to which Petitioner is or becomes entitled. 

A copy ofthis Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner's naval record. 

4. It is certified that 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 ofFederal 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 reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
