Application for the Correction of
the Coast Guard Record of:

FINAL DECISION
BCMR Docket No. 2002-164
SUMMARY OF THE RECORD
The applicant asked the Board to correct his record to show that he reenlisted for six
years on February 5, 2002, his sixth active duty anniversary, to receive a Zone B selective
reenlistment bonus (SRB). The applicant alleged that he was never counseled about his
eligibility to cancel the extension he signed on March 19, 2001 and reenlist on his six-year
anniversary. He alleged that, if he had been properly counseled, he would have cancelled his
extension, prior to its operative date, and reenlisted for six years. On February 5, 2002,
ALCOAST 585/01 was in effect, authorizing a Zone B SRB with a multiple of three and one-half
for members in the XXX rating who were serving in pay grade E-5 or above.
On December 12, 2002, the Chief Counsel of the Coast Guard stated that the applicant’s
request should be granted because the record shows that he was eligible for the SRB. He
recommended that the Board grant relief by correcting the applicant’s record to show that he
reenlisted on February 5, 2002 for six years to receive a Zone B SRB.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Under COMDTINST 7220.33, the applicant was entitled to proper counseling
concerning his eligibility to reenlist for six years on his sixth active duty anniversary to receive
an SRB. The Board finds that the applicant was not properly counseled, and that if he had been,
he would have cancelled the extension contract he signed on March 19, 2001 and reenlisted for
six years on February 5, 2002 for the Zone B SRB with a multiple of three and one-half pursuant
to ALCOAST 585/01. Accordingly, relief should be granted.
ORDER
The military record of , USCG, shall be corrected to show that he reenlisted
for six years on February 5, 2002, his sixth active duty anniversary, to receive a Zone B SRB
under ALCOAST 585/01. The extension agreement he signed on March 19, 2001 shall be
cancelled. The Coast Guard shall pay him the amount due as a result of this correction.
