FINAL DECISION
BCMR Docket No. 2002-075
SUMMARY OF THE RECORD
ANDREWS, Deputy Chair:
The applicant asked the Board to correct his record to show that he reenlisted on his 6th
active duty anniversary to receive a Zone A selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) in accordance
with ALCOAST 218/00. He alleged that he was not timely counseled about his eligibility for
the SRB and that, if he had been, he would have reenlisted for 6 years. His record does not con-
tain any documentation of SRB counseling. Letters signed by his commanding officer, a yeo-
man at his unit, and others indicate that he was not timely counseled about his eligibility
because of a miscalculation of his prior service and that, when the error was discovered, the
applicant promptly stated that he wanted to reenlist for the bonus.
The Chief Counsel of the Coast Guard recommended that the Board grant the appli-
cant’s request because the record supports his allegation that he was not timely counseled.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Under COMDTINST 7220.33, the applicant was entitled to timely counseling concerning
his eligibility for an SRB on his 6th anniversary. Under COMDTINST 7220.33 and ALCOAST
218/00, he was eligible to reenlist for 6 years to receive a Zone A SRB on the anniversary. The
Board finds that he was not timely counseled and that, if he had been, he would have reenlisted
to receive the SRB. Accordingly, relief should be granted.
ORDER
The military record of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, USCG, shall be corrected to show that he
reenlisted on his 6th active duty anniversary for 6 years to receive a Zone A SRB under
ALCOAST 218/00. Any other reenlistment or extension contract he may have signed since his
6th anniversary shall be null and void. The Coast Guard shall pay him the amount due as a
result of this correction.
