The applicant requests an extension to the mandatory separation date (MSD) 

and appointment as a Chaplain. 

This Headquarters recommends relief.  We support the applicant’s request 

for appointment as a professional officer (Chaplain) and we support the a 
request for extension of MSD.  Although supporting documentation from 
ANG does not explain the delay in processing the applicant’s reappointment 
application, we believe there is merit to this case.  We believe the timely processing 
of the MSD extension was not the fault of the applicant, and therefore an injustice 
occurred.  Our recommendation has been coordinated with the A.w  National Guard 
Chaplain’s Office.
