        (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 modify an immediate reenlistment contract and establish entitlement a Zone “A” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) 1.5 Award Level. 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 14 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 executed a 3-year reenlistment on 7 February 2019 with the intent to receive entitlement to a zone “A” SRB with a 1.5 award level.  Upon submitting for reenlistment, NAVADMIN 305/18 was published and lowered Petitioner’s award level to 1.0 effective 17 January 2019.  Petitioner asserts he was never informed by the command regarding the award level change effective 17 January 2019.  Petitioner would have requested to change reenlistment date prior to effective date of SRB award level reduction.       
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 14/15 January 2019, vice on 6/7 February 2019.  The term is 3 years.   
 
Petitioner’s previous Zone “A” SRB payment with a 1.0 award level should be adjusted to reflect recent Zone “A” SRB payment with a 1.5 award level.       
                                                             
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.

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.
