From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records  
To:  Secretary of the Navy  

Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552

      (2)  BUPERS memo 1160 Ser B328/226 dtd 25 Nov 19 
      (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 remove an agreement to extend enlistment.  

2.  The Board, consisting of                                                            , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 27 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:  On 10 October 2018, Petitioner executed a 19-month extension in order to meet obligated service requirement.  On 20 November 2018, Petitioner executed a 4-year reenlistment in order to receive SRB entitlement.  Due to an administrative oversight, Petitioner was awarded a second 19-month extension.  This error only provided Petitioner with 22 months of additional obligated service for SBR eligibility. The removal of the second 19-month extension would entitled Petitioner to 41 months of additional obligated service. 

RECOMMENDATION 

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

The 19-month agreement to extend enlistment (NAVPERS 1070/621), executed on 13 November 2017 is null and void.  
 
Petitioner's previous zone "A" SRB payment for 22 months of additional obligated service should be adjusted to reflect recent zone "A" entitlement for 41 months of additional obligated service.
 
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.
