RECORD OF 

Ref: 

(a) Title 10 U.S.C.  1552 

Encl : 

(1) Case Summary 
(2) Subject's  naval record 

1.  Pursuant to the provisions of reference  (a), Petitioner, a 
former enlisted member of the Naval Reserve filed an application 
with this Board requesting that her record be corrected to show 
a better reenlistment code than the RE-4  reenlistment code 
assigned on 18 February 2000. 

2.  The Board, consisting of Mr. Brezna, Ms. McCormick and Ms. 
Humberd, reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice 
on 5 March 2002 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that 
the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the 
available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by 
the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and 
applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 

3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining 
to Petitioner's  allegations of error and injustice, finds as 
follows : 

a.  Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all 

administrative remedies available under existing law and 
regulations within the Department of the Navy. 

b.  Petitioner's  application was filed in a timely manner. 

c.  Petitioner enlisted in the Naval Reserve on 25 September 

1997 and reported for three years of active duty on 28 October 
1997.  She then served in an excellent manner until her 
discharge.  In the performance evaluation for the period 1 March 
to 15 July 1999, the individual trait average is 3.67 and she was 
recommended for early promotion.  On 3 December 1999 she 
graduated from AK ''An  school and on 20 December 1999 she reported 
to a squadron which was about to deploy.  Two days later, the 
commanding officer recommended discharge for parenthood stating, 
in part, as follows: 

(She) was screened for sea duty by her previous command 
and reported to VAW  112 on 20 December 1999 with a '  
Family Care Plan Certificate.  (She) has been on active 

duty for 2 years, 1 months, and 23 days: and has two 
children.  Her previous dependent care giver, her 
mother  .... will receive back  surgery and will not be 
able to provide dependent care. .... 

On 3 February 2000, the Navy Personnel Command directed discharge 
and the assignment of an RE-3B or an RE-4 reenlistment code as 
appropriate.  She was honorably discharged by reason of 
parenthood on 18 February 2000.  At that time, she was assigned 
an RE-4  reenlistment code. 

d.  Regulations allow for the assignment of an RE-3B or an 

RE-4 reenlistment code when an individual is discharged by reason 
of parenthood. 

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the 
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable 
action.  The Board notes Petitioner's excellent service and the 
circumstances which led to the loss of her mother as the care 
giver for her children.  The Board concludes that no useful 
purpose is served by  the RE-4 reenlistment code and it should now 
be changed to the less restrictive RE-3B reenlistment code.  This 
code will alert recruiters that there is a problem which must be 
resolved before reenlistment can be authorized. 

The Board further concludes that this Report of Proceedings 
should be filed in Petitioner's naval record so that all future 
reviewers will understand the reason for the assignment of the 
RE-3B reenlistment code. 

RECOMMENDATION : 

a.  That Petitioner's  naval record be corrected to show that 
on 18 February 2000 she was assigned an RE-3B reenlistment code 
vice the RE-4 reenlistment code now of record. 

b.  That this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner's 
naval record. 

4.  It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board's 
review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and 
complete record of the Board's  proceedings in the above entitled 
matter. 

ROBERT D.  ZSALMAN 
Recorder 

Acting Recorder 

5.  Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 
6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of 
Naval Records  (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) 
and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby 
announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the 
authority of reference  (a), has been approved by  the Board on 
behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
