Although it appears that Petitioner's application was

not filed in a timely manner,

its merits.

it is in the interest of justice to

Petitioner enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve for six

yearsCon 8 June 1964.
The first two anniversary years, which
ended on 7 June 1966, are qualifying for reserve retirement. In
the next three anniversary years he has been credited with 15
points from annual training and 15 membership points for a total
of 30 points in each year.
In the fourth anniversary year, he
has only been credited with 15 membership points.
He was
honorably discharged on 7 June 1970 at the expiration of his
enlistment.

Subsequently, Petitioner became a member of the

National Guard and has accumulated more that 20 years of
qualifying service for reserve retirement.
