Secretary of the Navy 

Subj:  REVIEW OF  AVAL RECORD OF d 

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 in the Naval Reserve, filed an application 
with this Board requesting that his record be corrected to show a 
better reenlistment code than the RE-4 reenlistment code assigned 
on 18 January 2001. 

2.  The Board, consisting of Ms.-Ms.-dand 

Mr. 

-, 

reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and 

injustice on 15 July 2003 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 28 May 1998 
at age 26.  Since he enlisted in the advanced pay grade program, 
he was temporarily advanced to petty officer third class (SK3; E- 
4).  In the performance evaluation for the period 16 December 
1998 to 15 June 1999, the individual trait average (ITA) was 3.9 
and he was recommended for promotion and retention in the Naval 
Reserve. 

d.  A service record entry, dated 15 ~pril 2000, prepared by 

the Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Center (M&MCRC), Miami FL, 
states that Petitioner was being removed from a drill assignment 
and transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) because of 
unsatisfactory drill attendance.  He was not recommended for 

reaffiliation with the drilling ready reserve without prior 
approval of the Commander, Naval Reserve Force.  However, in a 
performance evaluation for the period 16 June 1999 to 15 June 
2000, he received an ITA of 3.0 and was recommended for promotion 
and retention in the Naval Reserve. 

e.  The next entry in Petitioner's record, dated 18 January 

2001, which also was prepared by the N&MCRC, Miami, states that 
he was being honorably discharged on that date due to 
unsatisfactory drill attendance with an RE-4 reenlistment code. 
The discharge processing documentation is not filed in the 
record. 

f.  Petitioner states in his application that he missed two 
drill weekends and, although he tried to reschedule the drills, 
he was transferred to the IRR.  He believes that his discharge 
with an RE-4 reenlistment code on 18 January 2001 was excessive. 

He desires to return to a drilling status. 

CONCLUSION: 

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the 
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable 
action.  The Board notes the conflicting entries in the record 
showing that he was transferred to the IRR on 16 April 2000 by 
N&MCRC, Miami because of poor drill attendance, then was issued a 
good performance evaluation for the period ending 15 June 2000, 
and then was discharged by N&MCRC, Miami on 18 January 2001 
because of unsatisfactory drill attendance with an RE-4 
reenlistment code.  Since there is no explanation in the record 
for the confusing entries, and the only problem is poor drill 
attendance, the Board concludes that cancellation of the 
discharge is warranted.  Therefore, the record should be 
corrected to show that he was not discharged with an RE-4 
reenlistment code on 18 January 2001.  With this correction, the 
record will show that he transferred to the IRR on 15 April 2000 
and has remained in that status since then.  The record will also 
continue to show that he was not recommended for reaffiliation on 
15 April 2000  due to unsatisfactory drill attendance. 

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 reasons for the cancellation of the 
discharge and that a waiver is still required before he can 
return to a drilling status. 

RECOMMENDATION: 

a.  That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that he 
was not discharged on 18 January 2001 but remained a member of 

the IRR. 

b.  That the record continue to show that he was not recommended 
for reaffiliation on 15 April 2000 when he was transferred to the 
IRR. 

c.  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.

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.
