      (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 Zone “B” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 

2.  The Board, consisting of      , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 4 March 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 met the basic eligibility criteria for an SRB in accordance with references (b) and (c).  Reference (d), approved Petitioner to reenlist on 15 February 2019 for a term of 6-years.  However, Petitioner’s command administrative oversights with the processing of reenlistment on 14 March 2019 impeded his ability to receive the Tier Three, Zone “B” SRB.  Although the proper administrative requirements were not completed, the Board felt that under these circumstances, a measure of relief is warranted. 

RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner’s NAVPERS 1070/601, Immediate Reenlistment Contract executed on 14 March 2019 for a term of 6-years is null and void. 

Petitioner executed NAVPERS 1070/601, Immediate Reenlistment Contract on 15 February 2019 for a term of 6-years. 
Note:  Petitioner’s 17 March 2019, 14-month extension is cancelled vice becoming operative. 

This change will entitle the Petitioner to a Tier Three, Zone “B” SRB with an award level of 1.0 ($30,000 award ceiling) for the Logistics Specialist (LS) rating. Remaining obligated service to 16 March 2019 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.
