DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100

JRE
Docket No. 03908-07
27 May 2008

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 8 May 2008. After careful consideration of your application, the Board concluded that your application was not timely filed, and that it would not be in the interest of justice to excuse your failure to submit your application in a timely manner. Although you believe you were unfit for duty when you were released from active duty in 1968, you state that you learned of the alleged error in your record in 2004. It is clear you knew in 1968 that you were being released from active duty under an early out program for overseas returnees, not by reason of physical disability.

You may request reconsideration of this decision. Your request must include newly discovered relevant evidence which was not reasonably available to you when you submitted your application. The evidence may pertain to the timeliness of your application or to its merits. Absent such additional evidence, further review of your application is not possible. It is regretted that a more favorable reply cannot be made.

Sincerely,

W.	DEAN PFEIFFER
Executive Director
