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. On 24 May 2005 Petitioner enlisted in the Navy Reserve
for eight years under a program which required her to attend
recruit training during her first year of service. She later
requested and was granted an extension of time to attend recruit
training.
c. On 19 January 2007 Petitioner received a general
discharge by reason of unsatisfactory participation due to her
failure to attend recruit training, and she was not recommended
for reenlistment.
d. Petitioner states that after she enlisted in the Navy
Reserve, a recruiter offered her the opportunity to enlist in the
Regular Navy. Since she was convinced that this was going to
happen, she saw no reason to attend Navy Reserve recruit
training. She did not enlist in the Regular Navy because of
paperwork delays and the transfer of her recruiter. By the time
she realized what was happening, the opportunity to attend Navy
Reserve recruit training had expired, and she was discharged for
failing to attend that training.
e. A service member may be discharged for the best interest
of the service if no other appropriate reason for separation
exists. A member discharged for the best interest of the service
may receive an honorable discharge and be recommended for
reenlistment.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action. In this regard, the Board notes that Petitioner’s record
was free of any disciplinary action. The Board also notes that
Petitioner was convinced that she was going to be enlisted in the
Navy and that it was not necessary for her to attend Navy Reserve
recruit training. Accordingly, the Board concludes that her
record shouid be corrected to show that on 19 January 2007 she
was issued an honorable discharge by reason of best interest of
the service, and that she was recommended for reenlistment.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
on 19 January 2007, she received an honorable discharge by reason
of best interest of the service and that she was recommended for
reenlistment.
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.
