CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action.
The Board notes that Petitioner was in good standing in
the Naval Reserve and would have been retired if he had requested
it prior to his discharge with disability severance pay.
Additionally, he is eligible for retired pay at age 60 even with
the discharge.
Therefore, the Board concludes that no useful
purpose is now served by his discharge and the record should be
corrected to show that transferred to the Retired Reserve.

begins to draw his retired pay at age 60.

Therefore, given the requirements of the Uniform Retirement Date
Act, the record should be corrected to show that he was not
discharged on 29 August 2000 but transferred to the Retired
Reserve, with eligibility for retired pay at age 60, effective on

2

1 September 2000 in the rate of GM1 (E-6).
The Board further concludes that this Report of Proceedings
should be filed in Petitioner's naval record so that all future
reviewers will understand his status in the Retired Reserve.

RECOMMENDATION:

That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that he

a.
was not discharged on 29 August 2000 but transferred to the
Retired Reserve effective 1 September 2000, with eligibility for
retired pay at age 60, in the rate of 

GMl.

That this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner's
