(4) Subject’s naval record

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner,
filed enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be
corrected by awarding her satisfactory years, for purposes of eligibility for Marine Corps
Reserve retired pay at age 60, for her anniversary years ending 21 December 1986,
21 December 1987, and 21 December 1988.

2. The Board, consisting of Messrs. Pfeiffer and Silberman and Ms. Madison, reviewed
Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 20 June 2001, and pursuant to its
regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the
enclosures, naval records, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations
of error and injustice, finds as follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies

available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.

In correspondence attached as enclosure

b.

(MMSR-6J), the office having cognizance over
(HQMC) Separation and Retirement Branch 
the subject matter of Petitioner’s request, has commented to the effect that her request as it
pertains to the years ending 21 December 1986 and 21 December 1987 has merit and
warrants favorable action. The memorandum for the record at enclosure (3) reflects that
HQMC MMSR-6J also supports relief concerning the year ending 21 December 1988. They
recommend adding, for each of the years in question, the reserve retirement points needed to
raise the total to 50, the minimum needed for a satisfactory year (35 for 1986, 34 for 1987

f&her recommend that points be deducted correspondingly from the
and 35 for 1988). They 
years where Petitioner earned points she did not need for a satisfactory year, to include the
61 points (two for 1989, six for 1990, 20 for 1991, 21 for 1993 and 12 for 1995) for which
she did not receive credit, as they exceeded the 
points and inactive duty points combined.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the
(3), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting
contents of enclosures (2) and 
’ the following corrective action.
