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 B328/235 of 10 December 2019; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 19 July 2004, you entered active duty.  On 15 July 2013, you reenlisted for 5 years. 
 
On 14 May 2018, NAVADMIN 119/18 was published and announces 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 following SRB award levels will be approved based on quota availability.  SRB reenlistment requests for AC must be submitted to 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 CTN rate award level was 3.5. 
 
On 8 June 2018, you submitted a NPPSC 1160/1 (Command Career Request) with a reenlistment date of 13 July 2018.  Furthermore, you were medically qualified for reenlistment on 12 June 2018.  
 
On 13 June 2018, your department head stated that Reenlistment package is being submitted late due to  experiencing a sudden Class three dental issue causing him to no longer be fully medical ready.  Due to the severity of the dental procedure required scheduling for the procedure has shifted multiple times and has now been referred and scheduled with a civilian provider on 20 June 2018. 
 
On 19 June 2018, you extended your reenlistment for 3 months to match your End of Active Obligated Service with your projected rotation date.  On 19 July 2018, you crossed out of zone “C”.  On 13 August 2018, SRB request was rejected.  On 27 August 2018, you reenlisted for 4 years. 
 
You requested an SRB for your current reenlistment; 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 failed to reenlist prior to crossing out of zone “C”.  In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained in the advisory opinion. 
 
Regarding your request for a personal appearance, the Board determined that a personal appearance with or without counsel will not materially add to their understanding of the issues involved.  Therefore, the Board determined that a personal appearance was not necessary and considered your case based on the evidence of record. 
 
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,
