FINAL DECISION
BCMR Docket No. 2002-125
SUMMARY OF THE RECORD
ANDREWS, Deputy Chair:
The applicant asked the Board to correct his record to show that he reenlisted for 6 years
on his 6th active duty anniversary, October 4, 2000, to receive a Zone A selective reenlistment
bonus (SRB) in accordance with ALCOAST 218/00. He alleged that he was not timely coun-
seled about his eligibility for the SRB and that, if he had been, he would have reenlisted for 6
years. In addition, he alleged that, if he had reenlisted for 6 years on his 6th anniversary, he
would not have been required to sign a 9-month extension contract on March 7, 2001. His
record does not contain any documentation of SRB counseling prior to his 6th anniversary.
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
for 6 years to receive the SRB. Moreover, he would not have needed to sign the 9-month
extension contract in his record. Accordingly, relief should be granted.
ORDER
The military record of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, USCG, shall be corrected to
show that he reenlisted on his 6th active duty anniversary, October 4, 2000, 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.
