2. The applicant requests correction of his military records by amending his 10 May 1993 reenlistment contract to show that he was entitled to receive a selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) with a multiplier of 2A.
3. The applicant states that at the time of his reenlistment on 10 May 1993, he was entitled to receive an SRB based upon a message from the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) dated 29 April 1993. However, reenlistment personnel failed to inform him of such or to process the necessary actions to ensure he received SRB entitlements.
4. The applicants military records indicate that after serving 3 years, 8 months, and 16 days of total active service, the applicant reenlisted on 10 May 1993 in military occupational specialty (MOS) 68L, for a period of 4 years. His contract showed no bonus entitlement.
5. The PERSCOM in a comment to this Board, advised that an SRB-2A was in effect for MOS 68L at the time the applicant reenlisted and recommended that his records be corrected to reflect his entitlement to the SRB.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was reenlisted without a bonus entitlement which has resulted in an injustice to him in that a bonus was available and he was qualified to receive it.
2. Through no fault of his own, the applicant has been denied a financial gain for which he otherwise was eligible to receive.
3. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicants records as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the 10 May 1993 reenlistment contract of the individual concerned to show that he reenlisted with entitlement to an SRB-2A in MOS 68L.
