Dear ,  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552.  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 was 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 23 July 2020.  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 Bureau of Naval Personnel memorandum 1160 Ser B328/229 of 6 December 2019; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment.   
 
You requested to receive entitlement to a Zone “C” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) for your 21 June 2019 reenlistment.  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 you did not meet the eligibility criteria to receive a Zone “C” SRB in accordance with Navy Administration (NAVADMIN) 305/18 or the subsequent SRB Addendum published on 1 April 2019.  Specifically, NAVADMIN 305/18 requires SRB reenlistment request be submitted 35 to 120 days in advance of the requested reenlistment date.  Moreover, the SRB addendum to NAVADMIN 305/18 reduced SRB award level to 0.0 effective 1 May 2019.  A review of your record indicates you did not submit your request to reenlist until 7 June 2019, thereby rendering you ineligible for the Zone “C” SRB.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken.  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,
