From: Chairman, Board for Correction of Naval Records
To; Secretary of the Navy
Subj:
Ref: (a) 10 U.S.C. 1552
Encl: (1) DD Form 149 with attachments
(2) Subject’s naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Petitioner, a
former enlisted member of the Marine Corps, filed enclosure (1)
with this Board requesting, in effect, that his RE-2C
(transferred to the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve (FMCR) at maximum
service limitation for grade) reentry code, issued on 12 April
2012, be changed. He further requested that his foreign’ service
and sea service entries on his Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) be corrected. This
request was not considered by the Board because he has not
exhausted his administrative remedy of applying to Headquarters
Marine Corps to make this correction.
2. The Board, consisting of Mr. Clemmons, Mr. Tew, and Ms.
Henkel, reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice
on 19 March 2014, 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. Petitioner entered the Marine Corps on 30 December 2002,
and served over nine years of honorable service. There is no
disciplinary action reflected in his record. On 12 April 2012,
he was separated with an honorable discharge and assigned an RE-
2C reentry code. This code is erroneous as he was not
transferred to the FMCR. He should have been assigned an RE-1A
(recommended and eligible) reentry code.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner’s request warrants favorable
action.
The Board concludes that based upon his overall record of
service, that relief in the form of changing his RE-2C to an RE-
1A is warranted. In view of the above, the Board directs the
following corrective action.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
he received an RE-1A vice an RE-2C reentry code on 12 April
2012,
b. That any material or entries inconsistent with or
relating to the Board's recommendation be corrected, removed or
completely expunged from Petitioner’s record and that no such
entries or material be added to the record in the future. ©
c. That any material directed to be removed from
Petitioner's naval record be returned to the Board, together
with a copy of this Report of Proceedings, for retention ina
confidential file maintained for such purpose, with no cross.
reference being made a part of Petitioner’s naval record.
4. Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 723.6(c) it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board's review and deliberations, and that the
