2. The applicant requests that he be placed in the Retired Reserve.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that in August 1995, he had submitted a request to his Reserve Troop Program Unit (TPU) to be transferred to the Retired Reserve, effective January 1996. He understood that the request was approved. He recently found out that instead of being transferred to the Retired Reserve, he was transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and discharged from the IRR in 1997.
4. The applicant’s military records show that in 1995, he was an Army Reserve major (MAJ) serving as the executive officer in the 1375th Logistics Support Battalion, a TPU in Waco, Texas. He had completed 25 years qualifying for retired pay at age 60. He had received his 20-year letter dated 5 November 1991. His retirement year ending (RYE) date is 16 December.
5. Headquarters, 75th Division, Houston, Texas, issued orders 261-04, dated
18 September 1995, transferring him to the U. S. Army Reserve (USAR) Control Group (Reinforcement), effective 22 October 1995. His retirement point history shows no participation in Reserve training beyond this date.
6. The U. S. Army Reserve Personnel Command (AR-PERSCOM) published orders D-05-738278, dated 18 May 1997, honorably discharging the applicant from the USAR on 19 May 1997.
7. Army Regulation 140-10 (Army Reserve Assignments, Attachments, Details, and Transfers), paragraph 6-1, authorizes assignment to the Retired Reserve of soldiers who have completed a total of 20 years of active or inactive service in the Armed Forces.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was eligible for and believed he had requested assignment to the Retired Reserve. He should be placed in the Retired Reserve in the interest of fairness since he has completed 25 qualifying years for retirement at age 60. The effective date for his voluntary transfer to the Retired Reserve should be
17 December 1995, the day after his RYE date of 16 December, so that he will get credit for a full retirement year.
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected for the individual concerned by:
a. revoking his orders discharging him from the USAR; and
b. showing that he was voluntarily transferred to the Retired Reserve, effective 17 December 1995.

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his transfer to the Retired Reserve be revoked and that he be reinstated in the US Army Reserve (USAR) Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) in order to serve until his Mandatory Removal Date (MRD) of 1 July 2004.

A USAHRC - STL Chronological Statement of Retirement Points, dated 29 January 2008, shows the applicant completed 15 years and 13 days of qualifying service. However, evidence of record shows that he did not have 20 years of qualifying service at the time of his discharge from the USAR. Although the applicant had over 15 years of qualifying service when he was discharged from the USAR, there is no evidence and the applicant has not provided evidence to show he was medically unfit while...

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. The official further stated that by regulation, eligible soldiers must request transfer to the Retired Reserve, and those who do not elect to be transferred to the Retired Reserve within 30 days of the date they are notified that they are being removed from an active status will be discharged. Since no request for transfer to the Retired Reserve was received from the...

The applicant requests, in effect, that his retirement point account be corrected to show that he has 20 years qualifying for retired pay at age 60 and that he be provided retired pay. The applicant states, in effect, that he is credited with only 18 years qualifying for retired pay, but he served for 20 qualifying years. His retirement point account should then show a total of 19 years qualifying for retired pay at age 60.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002069832C070402
APPLICANT REQUESTS: That he be granted an exception to policy to reenlist to reach 20 years of qualifying service for a nonregular retirement. However, since a Reserve soldier cannot receive retired pay for qualifying years of Reserve service until age 60, soldiers may remain in an active status until age 60. DISCUSSION : Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

A 1989 USAR Standby Advisory Board reviewed his record and selected him for promotion to MAJ. A 1989 Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) Proceedings directed that his discharge be voided, that he be promoted to MAJ, that he be credited with qualifying service for Reserve retirement, and that an explanation be placed in his records to show that the resulting gap in Officer Evaluation Reports (OERs) was due to no fault of the officer. On 18 October 1988, ARPERCEN issued...

The applicant requests reconsideration of his previous request for correction of his record to show he was separated for medical reasons and transferred to the Retired Reserve.

The applicant's military service records contain a copy of DAPC Form 249 (Request for Correction of Chronological Statement of Retirement Points for USAR Troop Program Members), dated 1 August 1989.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060000286C070205
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. On 9 September 2005, he was transferred to the Retired Reserve for failure to maintain an active status after completing 20 years of qualifying service for Retired Pay purposes. However, given the time that has elapsed since his transfer to the Retired Reserve, his waiver should be applied to the RYE 2005.
