On 17 November 2020, COMNAVPERSCOM notified command that Petitioner’s SRB had been rejected. l. On 25 November 2020, COMNAVPERSCOM notified command that Petitioner’s SRB has been approved for a 5-year reenlistment effective 1 December 2020. Furthermore, Petitioner signed a command career request (NPPSC 1160/1) requesting cancellation of extension, and was approved by cognizant authority on 25 November 2020. m. 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 was approved for both a 5 year term reenlistment effective 1 December 2020 and SRB; however, due to his record being flagged for C-Way quota, the supporting Personnel Support Detachment was unable to produce the reenlistment contract of the 1 December 2020 reenlistment, resulting in the SRB authorization being cancelled. RECOMMENDATION That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: Petitioner was discharged on 30 November 2020 and reenlisted, on 1 December 2020 for a term of 5 years. Note: This change will entitle the Petitioner to a Zone “B” SRB with an award level of 5.5 ($75,000 award ceiling) for the EOD/M03A rating/NEC. A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 4. It is certified that a 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 the reference, has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy. 8/8/2021 Deputy Director
