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 27 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 B328/126 of 17 September 2020; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
In accordance with MILPERSMAN 1160-100 (Selective Training and Reenlistment (STAR) Program); the STAR program offers career designation to first term enlisted members who enlist or reenlist and thereby become eligible for the following career incentives: Guaranteed assignment to an appropriate Class “A” or “C” School (but not both).  Possible advancement from petty officer third class (PO3) to petty officer second class (PO2) upon completion of a 
Class “C” School or a Class “C” School package, which is listed in the Career Schools Listing (CSL), MILPERSMAN 1510-020, and the latest NAVADMIN in effect on date of reenlistment, if otherwise eligible.  Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB), if eligible (not guaranteed). 
 
On 25 March 2014, you entered active duty.  April 2016, Career School Listings (CSL) listed HM-8410 (Bio-Medical Equipment Technician).  On 29 September 2017, you received official change duty orders (BUPERS order: 2727) with an obligated service of November 2022 to   for duty under instruction (HM-8410).  On 27 October 2017, you signed a NAVPERS 1070/613 (Administrative remarks) stating the following: “OTT Conditional Reenlistment authorized by Pers-81 email dated 27 October 2017. Under the OBLISERV To Training Program, upon school graduation from Biomedical Technician School on 18 January 2019 I agree to reenlist under the benefits of the STAR (Selective Training and Reenlistment) program to November 2022.” Furthermore, you signed an agreement to extend enlistment for 26 months with an SEAOS of 24 May 2021.  On 31 October 2017, you transferred from your duty station.  On 16 December 2017, you were advanced to E-4.  On 29 January 2018, HM-8410 was removed from the CSL.  January 2019, you earned NEC L08A/8410.  On 17 January 2019, you reenlisted for 4 years.  On 16 July 2019, you submitted a NAVPERS 1306/7 (Enlisted Personnel Action Request) for Selective Training and Reenlistment Program eligibility.  
 
You requested a review of your record and to be accepted for the STAR program; 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 you reenlisted nearly a year after HM-8410 was removed from the CSL.  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,
