Ref:  (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552 

Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments

      (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 the Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) Aircraft Maintenance Kicker. 

2.  The Board, consisting of     , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 21 February 2020 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 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 submitted for the FY19 Aircraft Maintenance Kicker on 30 August 2018 while in zone “A”. Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps approved Petitioner’s reenlistment and Aircraft Maintenance Kicker on 15 October 2018, which is the same date Petitioner crossed into zone “B”.  Since Petitioner’s Aircraft Maintenance Kicker was listed under zone “A”, Petitioner was not awarded entitlement for reenlistment executed on 22 October 2018.   

RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 9/10 October 2018, vice 21/22 October 2018.  The term remains 4 years and 3 months. Note:  Petitioner executed reenlistment in zone “A”.  

This change will entitle Petitioner to a Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19) Aircraft Maintenance Kicker in the amount of $20,000. 

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.
