DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF NAVAL RECORDS
2 NAVY ANNEX TRG
WASHINGTON DC 20370-5100 Docket No: 6910-08
24 June 2003
This is in reference to your application for correction of your
naval record pursuant to the provisions of title 10 of the United
States Code section 1552.
A three-member panel of the Board for Correction of Naval
Records, sitting in executive session, considered your
application on 23 June 2009. Your allegations of error and
injustice were reviewed in accordance with administrative
regulations and procedures applicable to the proceedings of this
Board. Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of
your application, together with all material submitted in support
thereof, your naval record and applicable statutes, regulations
and policies.
After careful and conscientious consideration of the entire
record, the Board found that the evidence submitted was
insufficient to establish the existence of probable material
error or injustice.
In your application, you are essentially requesting the crediting
of additional Navy active duty credit because you were discharged
prior to the end of the period for which you were required to
serve when you were inducted into the Navy.
You were inducted into the Navy on 12 April 1943 at age 18. The
term of this service was the duration of the war plus six months.
It was not. mandatory for the Navy to keep you on active duty for
the entire six months, and this period was only added so there
was a period of time after the end of the war to allow for an
orderly reduction of forces. The official ending of the war with
the Japanese was 2 September 1945. You were honorably discharged
from the Navy on 12 December 1945. Therefore you have been
credited with 2 years and 8 months of active service and have
been treated no differently than many others inducted into the
Navy during World War II.
With your application you have provided a statement of service
from the Army Reserve Personnel Command which shows your period
of service in the Navy and that you have been credited with a
total of 19 years and 23 days of qualifying service for reserve
retirement from the Army Reserve. You apparently are requesting
the additional Navy service so that you can qualify for reserve
~
retirement from the Army.
As indicated there is no error in your Navy record. Accordingly,
your application has been denied. The names and votes of the
members of the panel will be furnished upon request.
If you are still eligible, you may want to consider submitting an
application (DD Form 149) to the Board for Correction of Army
Records and request a correction to your record to show that you
have 20 years of qualifying service and eligibility for reserve
retirement.
It is regretted that the circumstances of your case are such that
favorable action cannot be taken. You are entitled to have the
Board reconsider its decision upon submission of new and material
evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board.
In this regard, it is important to keep in mind that a
presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.
Consequently, when applying for a correction of an official naval
record, the burden is on the applicant to demonstrate the
existence of probable material error or injustice.
‘Sincerely,
Quake
