      (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 6 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 was eligible to a zone “B” SRB per governingSRB policy.  

Subsequently, Petitioner executed a 4-year reenlistment on 15 March 2019.  However, the SRB Shutdown Master Addendum to NAVADMIN 305/18 became effective on 28 February 2019, which reduced Petitioner’s SRB award level to 0.0.  Petitioner could have executed reenlistment on 27 February 2019 in order to meet the 35-day SRB submission requirement and receive zone “B” SRB entitlement.  

RECOMMENDATION 

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

Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 26/27 February 2019, vice on 14/15 March 2019.  The term remains 4 years. 

This change will entitle the member to a zone “B” SRB with an award level of 1.0 ($30,000 dollar award ceiling) for the AT/0000 rate.  Remaining obligated service to 12 April 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.  Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
