BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
Application for the Correction of
the Coast Guard Record of:
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
FINAL DECISION
BCMR Docket No. 2002-151
ANDREWS, Deputy Chair:
SUMMARY OF THE RECORD
The applicant asked the Board to correct her record by releasing her from the Inactive
Ready Reserve (IRR). She alleged that, prior to her discharge from active duty, she discussed
joining the IRR with her unit’s yeoman but was uncertain about whether she would actually
have time to drill. However, her yeoman enrolled her in the IRR without her agreement or
knowledge. She did not discover the error until she received a phone call during a recent recall
of reservists.
The Chief Counsel of the Coast Guard recommended that the Board grant the appli-
cant’s request. He stated that she was discharged on July 18, 2001, under the Care of Newborn
Children program, and that she was enlisted in the IRR the next day even though she never
signed an agreement to do so. He stated that there is no legal documentation supporting the
yeoman’s decision to enlist her in the IRR.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The record indicates that the applicant was erroneously enlisted in the IRR after she was
discharged from the Coast Guard under the Care of Newborn Children program. As there is no
documentation supporting her enlistment, her record should be corrected by voiding it.
The military record of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, USCG, shall be corrected to show that,
after being discharged under the Care of Newborn Children program on July 18, 2001, she did
not enlist in the IRR on July 19, 2001. Her enlistment in the IRR shall be null and void.
