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: Per BUPERS Orders 0578, Petitioner was required to obligate service to September 2020.  Petitioner’s 12-month extension did not meet obligated service requirement.  Therefore, Petitioner’s executed a 10-month extension on 3 April 2018, which occurred after the execution of orders.  Petitioner could have been advised to execute a 6-year reenlistment on 1 July 2018, vice the 10-month extension.  This action would have entitled Petitioner to a zone “A” SRB.    
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
The 10-month agreement to extend enlistment (NAVPERS 1070/621), executed on 3 April 2018, is null and void.  Note: Petitioner’s 12-month agreement to extend enlistment (NAVPERS 1070/621), executed on 25 November 2014, will remain in Petitioner’s naval record.   
 
The Petitioner was discharged on 30 June 2018 and reenlisted on 1 July 2018.  The term is 6 years. 
 
This change will entitle the member to a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.5 ($30,000 dollar award ceiling) for the OS/0000 rate.  Remaining obligated service to 24 November 2018 will be deducted from SRB computation. 
                                                            
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.
