Dear ,  
 
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval record pursuant to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552.  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 was insufficient to establish the existence of probable material error or injustice.  Consequently, your application has been denied. 
 
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval Records, sitting in executive session, considered your application on 21 May 2020.  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 Bureau of Personnel memorandum 1160 Ser B328/069 dated 25 March 2019, and your response to the opinion.    
 
You requested to change your reenlistment date to reflect 27 Feburary 2018 in order to receive entitlement to a zone “B” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).  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 there was no justification to modify your current reenlistment date.  The governing SRB policy (NAVADMIN 305/18) provided SRB entitlement to your respective rate and zone effective 17 December 2018; however, the SRB quota shutdown reduced SRB award level to 0.0 effective 29 January 2019.  Hence, a reenlistment date of 27 February 2019 would have not provided you with eligibility to SRB entitlement.  Therefore, the mere fact that you execute reenlistment on the day BUPERS Orders was published did not serve as the disqualifying factor for SRB entitlement.  Furthermore, your medical assignment screening form was signed on 29 January 2019, which afforded you the opportunity to resume full duty status.  Therefore, you could not have met the SRB 35-day submission timeframe.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that favorable action cannot be taken.  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, 
          7/20/2020
