DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS 
701 S COURTHOUSE ROAD SUITE 1001 
ARLINGTON VA 22204-2490  

 
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 25 August 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 Manangement Support Branch (BUPERS-328) memorandum 1160 Ser B328/241 of 13 December 2019; a copy of which was previously provided to you for comment. 
 
On 19 August 2004, you entered active duty.  On 31 January 2013, you reenlisted for 6 years with an EAOS (Expiration of Active Service) of 30 January 2019.  On 7 June 2018, NAVMEDCEN published a message in regards to Temporary Limited Duty with the following: Temporary Limited Duty (TLD) (First Period) dictated (31 May 2018) for 6 months Limited Duty ICO SNM. Parent Command Shall Submit YH avail (Availability Request).  On 19 August 2018, you crossed out of zone “C”.  On 29 January 2019, you reenlisted for 5 years.  
 
You requested to have your current reenlistment backdated to 15 August 2018 in order to receive a zone “C” Selective Reenlistment Bonus; 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 were ineligible to reenlist in a timely manner due to your medical status.  MILPERSMAN 1160-140 states that Limited Duty (LIMDU) refers to any period during which a Sailor is listed within accounting category code (ACC) 105 and where the Sailor’s ability to perform duties has been limited due to medical reasons. LIMDU status does not preclude Sailors from submitting C-WAY-REEN quota requests. However, these Sailors are ineligible to execute reenlistments, long-term extensions (LTE), or short-term extensions (STE) while in a LIMDU status.  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,
