        (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 “A” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB).   
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 2 August 2019 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 the 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 submitted for reenlistment in a timely manner in order to receive entitlement to a Zone “A” SRB; however, Petitioner’s command failed to submit the SRB precertification requirements in a timely manner.  This action impeded Petitioner from receiving Zone “A” SRB entitlement, and Petitioner’s 24-month extension was executed, resulting in an expiration of obligated service date of 18 March 2021.    
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
Petitioner’s SRB request was submitted, received and approved by cognizant authority via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS)/ Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) within the prescribed timeframe required prior to his requested reenlistment on  
15 March 2019 for a term of 5-years.   
 
Petitioner was discharged on 14 March 2019 and reenlisted on 15 March 2019 for a term of  
5-years. 
 
This change will entitle Petitioner to a Zone “B” SRB with an award level of 1.0 ($75,000 award ceiling) for the Information Systems Technician Submarines rating with Navy Enlisted Classification code 74XA.  Remaining obligated service to 18 March 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.
