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 7 July 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 Community Management Support Branch memorandum 1160 Ser B328/136 of 2 July 2019; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 22 March 2016, you entered active duty with an expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) of 21 March 2020.  On 6 August 2018, you arrived to the USS  for duty.  On 17 December 2018, NAVADMIN 305/18 (Selective Reenlistment Bonus Update November 2018 and the Implementation of a Pay for Performance Pilot) was published.  On 20 March 2019, you reenlisted for 4 years.  On 16 April 2019, you were advanced to AD3/E-4. 
 
You requested the reinstatement of a 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 that in accordance with NAVADMIN 305/18, sailors must reenlist within 180 days of their EAOS, except in the following cases: Nuclear-trained Sailors, sailors who must OBLISERV to execute a permanent change of station  
move will be allowed to reenlist early any time within one calendar year of the detachment month, but not later than the date of detachment from the last intermediate duty station, or Combat Zone Tax Exclusion (CZTE)  and Early Promote (EP) Sailors who submitted SRB requests on or before the release of NAVADMIN 302/18 will be grandfathered.  Furthermore, you obtained the AD rate after you reenlisted.  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,
