2. The Board, consisting of Mm ee rr oe a
reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice on
2 June 2009 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the
corrective action indicated below should be taken on the
available evidence of record. Documentary material considered by
the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval records, and
applicable statutes, regulations and policies.

  

3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining
to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice, finds as
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. 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 limitations and consider the application on
its merits.

c. Petitioner was commissioned on 13 August 1971 with prior
enlisted service. He was promoted to major (maj; 0-4) on 1
October 1985. At the end of his anniversary~year'on 7 January
1994 he was credited with 23 years of qualifying service for
reserve retirement. He was honorably discharged in the grade of
maj on 30 June 1995.

d. He became 60 years of age on 7 February 2009 and
requested the start of his reserve retirement. On 8 April 2009,
Headquarters Marine Corps approved his retired pay but since he
had been discharged he was considered to be a former member.
Although eligible for pay, former members are not eligible for
some benefits that accrue to members that were transferred to
the Retired List.

e. The Board did not request an advisory opinion in this
case. However, the Board is aware that Headquarters Marine Corps
has routinely recommended corrective action when an individual is
qualified for reserve retirement and errors occurred which
prevented retirement.

f. The Uniform Retirement Date Act, 5 U.S.C. 8301, requires
that the effective date of any retirement be the first day of the
month.

CONCLUSION:

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action. Petitioner wag in good standing in the Marine Corps
Reserve and would have been retired if he had requested it in
sufficient time prior to his mandatory discharge on 30 June 1995.
Therefore, the Board concludes that Petitioner's record should
show that he transferred to the Retired Reserve in the grade of
maj. Given the requirements of the Uniform Retirement Date Act,
the retirement should be effective on 1 July 1995. Since he is
now 60 years old, the record should be further corrected to show
that he transferred to the Retired List on 7 February 2009 his
60th birthday.

The Board further concludes that this Report of Proceedings
should be filed in Petitioner's navai record so that all future
reviewers will understand his status in the Retired Reserve.

RECOMMENDATION :

a. That Petitioner's record be corrected to show that he
transferred to the Retired Reserve effective on 1 July 1995, in
the grade of major vice the discharge of 30 June 1995 now of
record. His record should then be corrected to show that he
transferred to the Retired List on 7 February 2009, his 60th
birthday.

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

4. tt 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. |
