Dear ,  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Section 1552 of Title 10, United States Code.  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 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 2 February 2021.  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 Community Management Support Branch, memorandum 1160 Ser B328/001 of 3 January 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 11 May 2011, you enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve for 8 years.  On 28 July 2011, you entered active duty, and were released from active duty and transferred to the Navy Reserve on 26 March 2012 after completing 7 months, and 29 days.  On 27 October 2015, you entered active duty, and were released from active duty for training (ADT) on 18 March 2016 after completing 4 months, and 23 days.  On 10 February 2017, you entered active duty, and were released from active duty and transferred to the Navy Reserve on 30 December 2017 after completing 10 months, and 21 days.  On 16 October 2018, you reenlisted in the active U.S. Navy for 6 years.  
 
You requested Selective Reenlistment Bonus eligibility for your 6 year reenlistment effective 16 October 2018; 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 that in accordance with OPNAVINST 1160.8A, members must have completed at least 17 continuous months of active naval service (other than active duty for training) but not more than 20 years of active military service.  You failed to meet this requirement.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 

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,
