No.  2002-159 

  FINAL DECISION 

 
The  applicant  asked  that  his  record  be  corrected  to  show  that  on  December  18,  2001,  he 
reenlisted  for  six  years  to  accept  In  Place  Consecutive  Overseas  Orders  (IPCT)  rather  than  having 
extended for two years based on orders granting him a tour extension.  The IPCT orders would have 
required him to obligate service, for which he could have extended or reenlisted for three years or 
more to qualify for an SRB.  The tour extension did not require obligated service and permitted only a 
two-year extension. The applicant alleged that the Coast Guard committed an error by issuing orders 
for  a  two-year  extension  rather  than  IPCT  orders.    When  the  Coast  Guard  finally  issued  the  IPCT 
orders on February 4, 2002, ALCOAST 127/01 had expired. A six-year extension, executed prior to 
January 31, 2002, would have entitled the applicant to a Zone B SRB under ALCOAST 127/01. 
 

The  Chief  Counsel  agreed  that  the  Coast  Guard  committed  an  administrative  error  and 
recommended  relief.    Although  the  applicant  asked  to  reenlist  for  six  years,  the  Coast  Guard 
recommended that he extend his enlistment for six years prior to January 31, 2002, with an operative 
date  of  March  29,  2003.,  to  allow  for  the  maximum  SRB  payment.    The  applicant  agreed  with  this 
recommendation.    
 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 

The  Chief  Counsel  admitted  and  the  Board  finds  that  the  Coast  Guard  committed  an 
administrative error when it issued extension of tour orders rather than IPCT orders on December 18, 
2001.  If IPCT orders had been issued at that time, the applicant would have extended his enlistment 
for six years and would have been eligible for a Zone B SRB under ALCOAST 127/01. 
 

ORDER 

The application of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, USCG, for correction of his military record is 
granted.    His  record  shall  be  corrected  to  show  that  he  extended  his  enlistment  for  six  years  on 
December 19, 2001, the day after his receipt of IPCT orders, for which he is eligible to receive a Zone 
B SRB under ALCOAST 127/01.  The Coast Guard shall pay the applicant the amount due him as a 
result of this correction.  The July 2001 one-year extension, the December 18, 2001 two-year extension, 
and the April 25, 2002 two-year extension shall be canceled.
