2. The applicant requests that she be transferred to the retired reserve.

3. She states that she has received orders discharging her from the USAR and would like to have those orders amended to transfer her to the retired reserve. She received notification of eligibility for retired pay at age 60 (twenty year letter) on 11 May 1993.

4. On 22 August 1995 the applicant, a master sergeant, received orders from the US Army Reserve Personnel Center (ARPERCEN) honorably discharging her from the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement) effective on that date. She was being discharged at expiration of term of service (ETS) apparently because the ARPERCEN was unable to contact her and ascertain her desire whether she wished to transfer to the retired reserve or be discharged.

5. Army Regulation 135-178, Separation of Enlisted Personnel, states in pertinent part, that on the ETS
or period of statutorily obligated service, the enlisted soldier will be discharged.

6. Army Regulation 140-10, Assignments, Attachments, Details, and Transfers, provides for the transfer of reservist to the retired reserve for the completion of 20 years of service.

CONCLUSIONS :

1. The applicant was eligible for transfer to the retired reserve by virtue of her twenty year letter. However, she was never contacted as to her preference of removal (discharge or retired reserve), therefore, revoking her discharge now and transferring her to the retired reserve is a proforma matter.

2. In view of the foregoing, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION :
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected:

         a. by showing that the individual concerned was transferred to the retired reserve effective immediately; and

         b. by providing her with all of the appropriate information necessary to facilitate her placement in the retired reserve.

BOARD VOTE :

GRANT AS STATED IN RECOMMENDATION

GRANT FORMAL HEARING

DENY APPLICATION

    The applicant provides two reports of medical examination, dated 17 July 1982 and 31 July 1986, which show the applicant's height/weight as 72"/174 and 72"/177, respectively.
