DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 REC
Docket No: 06642-10
4 April 2011
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the United
States Code, section 1552.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 30 March 2011. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of
your application, together with all material submitted in support
thereof, your naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations,
and policies.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found the evidence submitted was insufficient
to establish the existence of probable material error or
injustice.
You enlisted in the Navy on 24 July 1967, and began a period of
active duty at age 19. You completed your obligated service
honorably. However, you did not get promoted above the pay grade
of E-3. On 23 July 1971, you were released from active duty
while serving in pay grade E-3 and not recommended for retention.
You transferred to the Naval Reserve and assigned a reenlistment
code of RE-4 for failure to obtain the pay grade of E-4 or above.
On 23 July 1973, you received an honorable discharge from the
Navy with a reenlistment code of RE-4.
Individuals separated at the expiration of their obligated
service will not be recommended for retention if they deo not meet
professional growth criteria. Chief of Naval Operations
Instruction 1160.5C defines the professional growth eriteria that
must be met before an individual may reenlist. The instruction
states, in part, as follows:
_..To satisfy professional growth criteria for the first
reenlistment, the member must be: (1) serving as a petty
officer or, (2) serving in paygrade E-3 having passed an
examination for advancement to paygrade E-4 and be currently
recommended for advancement, or (3) have formerly been a
petty officer in current enlistment and be currently
recommended for advancement to paygrade E-4. Failure to
meet the professional growth criteria may result in denial
of further extensions or reenlistment...
An individual separated in paygrade E-3 who fails to meet the
above criteria may receive an RE-3R reenlistment code if he/she
is recommended for advancement to paygrade E-4 at the time of
.geparation. If not, the individual must be assigned an RE-4
«reenlistment anne g
%
The Board, in its review of your application, carefully weighed
all potentially mitigating factors, such as your overall record
of service. Nevertheless, the Board concluded these factors were
not sufficient to warrant a change in the reenlistment code,
which was based on your failure to be advanced beyond pay grade
E-3. In this regard, an RE-4 reenlistment code is authorized
when an individual is discharged at the expiration of his term of
active obligated service and is not recommended for retention.
Accordingly, your application has been denied. The names and
votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
Favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the
Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and material
evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board.
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a
presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
Sincerely,
Wis, /
