      (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 show Petitioner reenlisted on her expiration of active obligated service (EAOS) in order to receive a full Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 

2.  The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 19 May 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.  On 9 February 2015, Petitioner entered active duty for 4 years in the U.S. Navy.  Additionally, Petitioner extended for 24 months for Training in the Program. 

c.  On 29 January 2019, Petitioner’s SRB was approved. 

d.  On 6 February 2019, Petitioner reenlisted for 4 years in the U.S. Navy. 

e.  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. The Board concluded that due to improper counseling Petitioner failed to reenlist on her expiration of active obligated service (8 February 2019).  Therefore, Petitioner’s inoperative 24 month extension counted against her SRB payment. 

RECOMMENDATION

Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 7/8 February 2019, vice on 5/6 February 2019 for a term of 4 years.

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.
