COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001 ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490 Docket No. 0900-19 From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records To: Secretary of the Navy Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD RET Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. §1552 Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments (2) NPC memo 5400 PERS-836/039 of 22 Jul 19 (3) Subject’s naval record 1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to show a review of Petitioner’s retainer pay and high three average was conducted. 2. The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 5 November 2019 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. b. On 23 September 1986, Petitioner enlisted in the delayed entry program in the U.S. Army Reserve. c. On 22 September 1987, Petitioner enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve. Evidence shows he first earned inactive duty points during his anniversary year of 23 September 1987 to 22 September 1988. d. On 30 July 1990, Petitioner’s enlistment in the U.S. Army Reserve was terminated/Discharged. e. On 31 July 1990, Petitioner enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve. f. On 5 February 1991, Petitioner entered active duty in the U.S. Navy Reserve. g. On 31 August 2018, Petitioner was transferred to the Fleet Reserve. h. 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 DD Form 1966 shows a pay entry base date (PEBD) of 31 July 1990; however, every reenlistment contract in Petitioner’s official military personnel file (OMPF) since then shows a PEBD of 22 September 1987. Prior to Petitioner’s retirement, Official NSIPS/ESR Form “Member Data Summary” printed on 4 September 2018, shows a PEBD of 27 March 1987. It is believed that this date was calculated by using his original entry date of 23 September 1986 minus the period of 31 July 1990 to 4 February 1991, which was not creditable due to delayed entry, according to Petitioner’s Statement of Service. RECOMMENDATION That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS) will complete an audit of Petitioner’s records to determine if Petitioner is receiving the correct retirement compensation. 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. 5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
