2. The applicant requests, in effect, that her military record be corrected to reflect all of her actual service, and that she receive appropriate pay and allowances for this service.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that she was not given credit for any time served after 30 November 1999, even though she did serve until 3 December 2000. She contends that in June 1999, she requested an extension of her mandatory retirement date (MRD) of 30 November 1999, which was disapproved on 8 February 2000. However, she claims that she was never informed of the disapproval and that her command continued to pay her and to approve her requests for training. She further contends that the error was discovered during the first week of December 2000 and she was immediately informed to stop training. Another request for extension of her MRD was submitted on
13 December 2000 and was disapproved on 9 February 2001. In support of her application she provides copies of these requests, along with a copy of her retirement orders, retirement certificate, and summary sheet of her retirement points.
4. The applicant’s military records show that she was appointed as a major/0-4 (MAJ/0-4) in the Army Nurse Corps, United States Army Reserve (USAR), on
29 August 1979. She remained in the USAR and attained the rank of colonel/0-6 (COL/0-6) on 27 August 1991.
5. The applicant was born on 30 November 1939 and attained the age of 60 on 30 November 1999, which is the basis for her MRD.
6. On 9 February 2001, the Director, Personnel Actions and Services, USAR Personnel Command, published a memorandum for the applicant’s commander, wherein, the Director stated that the applicant’s request for extension beyond her MRD was disapproved because she was not in an authorized position. That memorandum further explained that her request was originally disapproved on
8 February 2000, but that she was allowed to remain on the Reserve Active Status List without authorization until December 2000. The Director suggested that the applicant appeal to this Board to receive credit for retirement points earned after attaining age 60.
7. The summary of retirement points provided by the applicant shows that she did not receive any credit for time served after 28 August 2000.
8. On 11 April 2001, Orders N-01-101-004, Headquarters, USAR, were published directing the applicant’s assignment to the Retired Reserve, effective 30 April 2001.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant’s contention that she requested an extension of her MRD; that it was disapproved; and that she was not so informed, is fully supported by the evidence presented to the Board. The evidence clearly shows that she was permitted to remain in an active status until her training was stopped in December 2000.
2. It is apparent that the applicant performed her military duties as required until told to stop. Furthermore, there is no evidence to suggest she had any knowledge that her request for extension of her MRD was disapproved.
3. Therefore, her military records should be corrected to grant her full credit for actual time served.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the MRD of the individual concerned was extended to 30 April 2001; and by authorizing her to retain all retirement points and pay earned and received during the period 1 December 1999 to 30 April 2001.

It would be more appropriate to show that the applicant requested an extension of her MRD in a timely manner, to show that the recommended 4-year extension was approved prior to her MRD of 30 June 2000, and to grant her the retirement point credit she had earned/would have earned had her request been submitted and approved on time. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the applicant requested an extension of her MRD on 1 May 2000,...

In the opinion of the Board, the e-mail, dated 9 August 1999, the fact that the applicant was promoted to major on 31 August 1999, and the actions taken by unit officials as a result gave the applicant the reasonable impression that her extension had been approved. Thus, the Board concludes that it would be appropriate that the applicant’s promotion to major be considered valid and that all service she performed after reaching her MRD at age 60, up until 16 October 2000, be creditable for...

In May 2001, the applicant was granted a two-year extension based on the needs of the service, which adjusted her MRD to 31 May 2003. Unfortunately, she is now age 69 and has been without a military status for 7 years and by law is now well past the maximum retention age. Regrettably, the applicant is not entitled to be extended past her MRD of 16 June 2003 or retention in the USAR in order to qualify for retired pay and benefits.

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant requests that her records be corrected to reflect that she has 20 qualifying years of service for retirement or that her mandatory removal date be changed to 15 January 2003. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by extending her service as an exception to policy to show her RYE date as 25 December 2001, by granting her a qualifying year of service...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001056032C070420
A 23 March 2001 memorandum to the applicant from his command informed him that he was not eligible for crediting of retirement points or qualifying service beyond the date of his MRD of 31 December 1999. The applicant’s records should be corrected to revoke his discharge of 31 January 2001 and record all service time and retirement points from 1 January 2000 through 31 January 2001. His completion of over 20 years of qualifying service now being recorded, the applicant should be placed in...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002074577C070403
The applicant’s military records show that on 7 December 1982, she was commissioned a second lieutenant (2LT) in the Army Nurse Corps (ANC) of the United States Army Reserve (USAR), and that she is currently assigned to the Retired Reserve and is receiving retired pay. By regulation, Retired Reserve members who were removed from active status are ineligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade. The evidence of record confirms that the applicant was selected for...

I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual. He completed the CHOAC on 5 November 1999 and on 7 December 1999, he was discharged from the USAR. The Board finds that the applicant was unjustly denied the opportunity to participate in the USAR while waiting for the administrative process to finally reach completion.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2015 | 20150009774
The applicant requests correction of her records to show she completed 20 qualifying years of service and is entitled to receive a non-regular Reserve retirement. The applicant provides a self-authored letter requesting an extension to satisfy the requirement to reach 20 good years of service for a USAR retirement, but it was denied by HRC. The HRC has indicated that she is not eligible to receive a 20-year letter and is not eligible for retired pay at age 60 since her corrected retirement...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001064271C070421
The applicant requests that he be granted credit for retirement points for the period December 1998 to December 2000. The applicant states that he was a troop program member (TPU) until 30 March 2001, and on that date was transferred to the Retired Reserve due to his Mandatory Removal Date (MRD), and remained in the Active Reserve for 2 additional years. However, the evidence of record shows that he did serve 2 additional years past his MRD and should be entitled to receive credit for the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002073471C070403
The applicant’s military records show that the applicant was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army Reserve (USAR) on 11 June 1972, at the age of 21 years. He should have been considered by the 1998 COL promotion board as well as the 1999 promotion board. Under the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act (ROPMA), if he is selected for promotion to COL under the 1998 or 1999 criteria, his MRD would be extended to 30 years of commissioned service resulting in an MRD of 10 July 2002.
