        (3) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to establish entitlement to a Zone “A” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 
 
2.  The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 19 July 2019 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 Petitions 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.  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: 
 
On 10 February 2014, Petitioner signed a 12-month NAVPERS 1070/621.  Petitioner received BUPERS Order 0928 dated 2 April 2018, requiring him to reenlist to meet obligated service of August 2021.  Petitioner was eligible to receive a Zone A SRB.  However, on 20 April 2018, Petitioner was erroneously advised by his command to sign a 23-month Agreement to Extend and to meet his obligated service per the BUPERS Order 0928.  Had Petitioner been properly advised to reenlist for a term of 3 years on 13 July 2018 and then sign a 1-month extension, the operative 12-month extension would have been cancelled, and the 23-month extension would have been not necessary, as the 3-year reenlistment would have met his obligated service of August 2021.  Due to this error, Petitioner was rendered ineligible to receive SRB he was eligible to receive. 
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
SRB request was submitted, received and approved by cognizant authority via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS)/ Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 days in advance of Petitioner's requested reenlistment date of 13 July 2018 for a term of 3-years. 
 
Petitioner executed a NAVPERS 1070/601, Immediate Reenlistment Contract on 13 July 2018, for a term of 3 years and a NAVPERS 1070/621, Agreement to Extend Enlistment for 1 month on 13 July 2018. 
 
Note: This change will entitle the member to a Tier Two, Zone A SRB with an award level of 2.0 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the Air Traffic Controller (AC) rating. 
 
A copy of this 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 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 reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
