BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
701 S. COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 1001
ARLINGTON, VA 22204-2490
JDR
Docket No: 3903-14
13 May 2015
This is in reference to your application for correction of your naval
record pursuant to the provisions of Title 10, 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
24 April 2014. The names and votes of the members of the panel will
be furnished upon request. 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, began a period of active duty on
12 October 2006, and served without disciplinary incident. On
11 October 2012, upon completion of your required active service, you
were honorably released from active duty, transferred to the Navy
Reserve, and assigned a Separation Program Designator (SPD) of “LBK”
and “RE-1E” reentry code. Subsequently, on 6 March 2014, you were
honorably discharged at the expiration of your enlistment.
Your record contains documentation which reflects that on
7 August 2013, the Board corrected your record regarding authorization
of “full” Involuntary Separation Pay based on your execution of a
3-year immediate reenlistment contract, operative on or about
12 October 2012, which was the day after your release from active
duty.
The Board, in its review of your entire record and application,
carefully weighed all potentially mitigating factors, such as your
record of service and desire to change your SPD and reentry code. It
also considered your request to receive separation pay. Nevertheless,
the Board concluded you were appropriately released from active duty
and discharged, and that you were assigned the most appropriate SPD
and reentry code, both of which were based on your honorable service
record.
In regard to your request for separation pay, the Board noted that
this action was completed on 7 August 2013, and as such, no further
consideration is warranted. Accordingly, your application has been
denied.
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 within one year
from the date of the Board’s decision. 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,
ROBERT J. O'NEILL
Executive Director
