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 6 October 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 B328/139 of 19 July 2019; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 8 September 2014, you entered active duty. 
 
On 17 December 2018, NAVADMIN 305/18 was published announcing revised Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) award levels and reenlistment policy for Active Component (AC) and Full-Time Support (FTS).  Furthermore, increased award levels are effective immediately and decreased levels are effective 30 days after the release of this NAVADMIN.  Moreover, Reenlistment requests for the listed SRB award levels will be approved based on quota availability.  SRB reenlistment requests for AC must be submitted to the Community Management Support Branch (BUPERS-328) via Officer Personnel Information System (OPINS) or Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) 35 to 120-days in advance of the requested reenlistment date for the Sailor.  Finally, the CS (SW) rate award level was 2.0. 
 
On 29 January 2019, your skill set was shut down by Chief of Naval Operations.  On 20 February 2019, you submitted a NPPSC 1160/1 (Command Career Request) and it was approved by your Commanding Officer on 21 February 2019.  On 20 February 2019, Commanding Officer (USS ) submitted a 35-day waiver request letter to Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy Division via Navy Pay and Compensation Policy Branch or approval.  On 22 February 2019, Commander () submitted a 35-day waiver request letter to Director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy Division via Navy Pay and Compensation Policy Branch for approval.  On 26 February 2019, you reenlisted for 6 years.  
 
You requested an 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 at the time of the shutdown, you had not submitted your request to reenlist.  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,
