        (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 a Zone “B” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 21 July 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, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings: 
 
     a.  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 eligibility criteria for a Zone “B” SRB in accordance with references (b) through (d).  However, because the proper administrative requirements were not completed, Petitioner did not receive the SRB entitlement.  Although the proper administrative requirements were not completed, the Board felt that under these circumstances, 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 17 March 2017 for a term of 4-years and the associated NAVPERS 1070/621, Agreement to Extend Enlistment for a term of 14-months are null and void. 
 
On 31 January 2017, Petitioner extended enlistment for 24-months with a new contract expiration date of 25 June 2019. 
 
On 31 January 2017, Petitioner signed NAVPERS 1070/613, Administrative Remarks agreeing to extend enlistment for 35-months to satisfy the obligated service requirement outlined in BUPERS Order:  0307. 
 
Petitioner executed NAVPERS 1070/601, Immediate Reenlistment Contract on 31 May 2019 for a term of 3-years.  
 
These changes will entitle Petitioner to a Tier Three, Zone “B” SRB with an award level of 4.0 ($30,000 dollar award ceiling) for the Hospital Corpsman (HM) rating with Navy Enlisted Classification code L35A.  Remaining obligated service to 25 June 2019 will be deducted from SRB computation.
