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 July 15, 2010, Petitioner enlist in USMCR for eight years with six-year obligation with the reserve component. 
 
     c.  On October 15, 2011, Petitioner enters SMCR component code K4.  Petitioner’s reserve component obligation end date is established as October 14, 2017. 
 
     d.  On August 25, 2017, Petitioner submits TFRS 13360503 requesting 80 points and 12-month drilling obligation in accordance with reference (b). 
 
     e.  On August 30, 2017, reference (c) is released offering 100 Reserve affiliation composite score points incentive for qualified Marines. 
 
     f.  On September 25, 2017, Petitioner’s TFRS 13360503 is approved.  Petitioner declines the approval in order to request the 100-point incentive of reference (c).  
 
     g.  On January 8, 2018, Petitioner’s TFRS 13386101 submitted by command requesting 100 points composite score incentive and extension of enlistment contract for 6-months. 
 
     h.  On March 22, 2018, Petitioner’s TFRS 13386101 administratively close due to failure to respond to HQMC Reserve Affairs (RA) request by providing the required command waiver endorsement and properly completed incentive statement of understanding, as requested.

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 the Petitioner’s Reserve Reenlistment (RELM) request TFRS 13386101 was not properly handled in timely manner which prevented the Petitioner from receiving 100 composite score incentive points and promotion to Sergeant (E5).
