2. The applicant requests correction of her military records by amending her 30 June 1994 reenlistment contract to show that she reenlisted with entitlement to a selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) of 1A.
3. The applicant states that at the time of her reenlistment on 30 June 1994, she was informed that she was not entitled to receive an SRB. However, she has since learned that others with the same military occupational specialty (MOS) received an SRB when they reenlisted during the same time frame as herself and that she was also entitled to receive an SRB but was unjustly denied it because the reenlistment NCO failed to thoroughly check the messages that authorized the SRB.
4. After serving 3 years, 8 months, and 21 days of total active service, the applicant reenlisted on 30 June 1994 in MOS 98C, in the pay grade of E-5 for a period of 3 years. Her contract showed no bonus entitlement.
5. The Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM), in a comment to this Board, advised that an SRB-1A was in effect for MOS 98C effective 21 April 1994 and that the applicant should have received an SRB-1A for her 30 June 1994.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was reenlisted without a bonus entitlement that has resulted in an injustice to her in that a bonus was available and she was qualified to receive it.
2. Accordingly, it would be equitable and just to correct the applicants records to show that she was authorized to receive the SRB-1A that was in effect at the time she reenlisted on 30 June 1994.
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 30 June 1994 reenlistment contract of the individual concerned to show that she was entitled to receive an SRB-1A in MOS 98C.

She goes on to state that she believes that she has been unfairly assessed in the recoupment of her SRB because she had served 4 years of her 6-year reenlistment and had reclassified to a shortage MOS.
