2. The applicant requests, in effect, that he be granted 20 years qualifying service for retirement at age 60.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that he thought he had 20 years qualifying service for retirement at age 60 after having requested a letter of eligibility for retirement and receiving a 5AA Form 333 (AG), (Eligibility for Retired Pay Worksheet), dated 27 June 1981, which verified that he had 20 good years of service in the military which established his eligibility for retired pay at age 60. When he applied for retired pay on 3 March 1999, it came to his attention that not only is the time added incorrectly, but the wrong social security number is listed. He provides a copy of the 5AA Form 333, a copy of a Chronological Statement of Retirement Points, dated 5 February 1984, showing that he has 19 years,
4 months, and 23 days qualifying for retirement at age 60, and three DD Forms 214 (Report of Transfer or Discharge) for three periods of active duty from 30 June 1960 through 22 November 1968.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he served as an enlisted soldier on active duty for three periods as shown below with periods in the United States Army Reserve (USAR) in between. He had a break in service and then reenlisted in the USAR on 21 November 1970. On 11 July 1980, he was discharged as a First Sergeant, pay grade E-8, so that he could accept an appointment as a warrant officer. On 12 July 1980, he accepted an appointment as a Reserve warrant officer. The applicant was transferred at his own request to the USAR Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), effective 20 October 1981. He was voluntarily transferred to the Retired Reserve on 11 November 1988. His 60th birthday was 11 December 1999.
