The Board, consisting of  ,    ,    and    reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 1 September 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.

     c.  On 2 August 2019, Petitioner transferred from  (MCC VFG), and arrived to  (MCC VLC) for duty on 7 September 2019.  
 
     d.  In accordance with reference (b), this bulletin announced the SRB program and the BSSRB program authorized for FY20.

     g.  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.  The Board concluded that Petitioner’s command failed to include documentation via the Careerist Active Duty Reenlistment request, showing Petitioner’s qualification and eligibility for the FY20 Aircraft Maintenance Kicker.  Therefore, no Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps (HQMC) approval was received.
