ecord pertaining

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of a
e, finds as

to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustic
follows:

a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law and
regulations within the Department of the Navy.

b. Petitioner's application was filed in a timely manner.

c. Petitioner graduated from the United States Naval
Academy and was commissioned in the Marine Corps on 26 May 1999.
The date of his commission established the ending date of his
eight year military obligation as 25 May 2007. On 31 August 2006

he submitted his resignation requesting for a discharge date of 1
July 2007. In his resignation he stated that he did not desire

to accept a commission in the Marine Corps Reserve (USMCR). The
DD Form 214 issued on 1 July 2007 indicates that he was
discharged from the Regular Marine Corps but the narrative reason
is "Intradepartmental transfer" which indicates that he had

accepted a reserve commission.

d. Petitioner states in his application that he has been
improperly placed in the Individual Ready Reserve and points out
that he should not have been because he indicated in his
resignation letter that he did not desire a reserve commission.

e. Attached to enclosure (1) is an advisory opinion from
Headquarters Marine Corps which concludes that since Petitioner
did not request a reserve commission he should not be a member of
the USMCR. The opinion recommends that the Board correct the
record to show that he was discharged on 1 July 2007 by reason of
completion of required active duty with a separation program
designator (SPD) of FBK1.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record and
the recommendation contained in the advisory opinion, the Board
concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable action.
There is no evidence in the record that Petitioner actually
accepted a reserve commission. Without such a commission
Petitioner is not a member of the USMCR. Therefore it appears
that the DD Form 214 and entries in data bases can be
administratively corrected. However, given the favorable
advisory opinion and the possibility that a reserve commission
may exist, the Board concludes that Petitioner's record should be
corrected to show that he was honorably discharged on 1 July 2007
by reason of completion of required active duty with no further

reserve obligation.

The Board further concludes that this Report of Proceedings
should be filed in Petitioner's naval record so that all future
reviewers will understand the reasons for the correction to the

record.

RECOMMENDATION:

a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show that
he was honorably discharged on 1 July 2007 by reason of
completion of required active duty with an SPD of FBK1.

b. That this Report of Proceedings be filed in Petitioner's
naval record.

4. It is certified that a quorum was present at the Board's
review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and
complete record of the Board's proceedings in the above entitled

matter.

ROBERT D. ZSALMAN BRIAN \ GEORGE
Recorder Acting Recorder
5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section
6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of
Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e))
and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby
announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the

authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on
behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.

    [Petitioner] was involuntarily discharged from the Marine Corps with an honorable characterization of service and has been on continuous active duty since October 1994 until her separation. Accordingly, we recommend that [Petitioner's] request for separation [sic] be denied. Furthermore, the law and regulations allow commanders to recommend separation of commissioned officers without the recommendation of a BOI when they have less than five years of active duty service.
