injustice on 29 April 2003 and, pursuant to its regulations, 
determined that the corrective action indicated below should be

b.  Although it appears that Petitioner's application was 

not filed in a timely manner, it is in the interest of justice to 
waive the statute of limitation and review the application on its 
merits. 

c.  On 29 March 1988 Petitioner was issued a Notification 

of Eligibility for Retired Pay at Age 60.  About nine months 
later, on 13 January 1989, he was promoted to master gunnery 
sergeant (MGYSGT; E-9).  He then served consecutive qualifying 
years through the anniversary year ending on 23 February 1994. 
On 17 October 1993, he reenlisted for a period of two years.  He 
apparently transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve during 
this period because he has been credited with no further 
qualifying years.  He was honorably discharged on 15 September 
1995.  The Career Retired Credit Report shows more than 29 years 

d.  The Board did not request an advisory op:nion in this 

of total service and 26 years of qualifying servi e for reserve 
retirement.

has routinely recommended corrective action when  n individual is 
qualified for reserve retirement and there is no  xplanation in 

j 
the record why he was discharged and not retired. 4

Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrant  favorable 
action.  The Board notes that Petitioner was in g  d standing in 
the Marine Corps Reserve and would have been reti  d if he had 
requested it.  Therefore, the Board concludes th  the record 
should be corrected to show that he transferred t  the Retired 
Reserve in the grade of MGYSGT.  Given the requirement of the 
Uniform Retired Date Act, the retirement should b  effective on 1 
September 1995. 

e.  The Board is aware that the uniform ~etidement Date Act, 

5 U.S.C. 8301 requires that the effective date of any retirement 
be the first day of the month.

should be filed in Petitioner's naval record so th 
reviewers will understand his status in the Retire
