        (3) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to establish entitlement to a zone “B” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 7 June 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 the Petitioner’s naval record, 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:  Petitioner was eligible to a zone “B” SRB however, the SRB pre-certification requirement was not submitted to higher headquarters within 35 to 120 days.  This action impeded Petitioner from receiving entitlement to a zone “B” SRB for the 6-year reenlistment term executed on 19 October 2018.      
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
SRB request was submitted and received by cognizant authority via OPINS/NSIPS 35 days in advance of Petitioner's requested reenlistment date; it was approved.  Note: Petitioner was discharged on 18 October 2018 and reenlisted on 19 October 2018.  The term is 6 years. 
 
This change will entitle Petitioner to a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.0 (45,000 dollar award ceiling) for the HM/L23A rate.  Remaining obligated service to 12 October 2020 will be deducted from SRB computation.    
                                                             
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.
