RECOMMENDATION:

That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that:

On 7 October 2003 the appropriate naval authorities approved his request and extended his entitlement for an additional period of 2 years expiring 1 November 2005. Petitioner will be entitled to everything he would have been entitled to receive had his entitlement not expired on 1 November 2003.

(NOTE: Petitioner will forward a copy of this letter and a copy of all documents pertaining to moving his HHG to the Naval Transportation Support Center, 1667 Piersey Street, Norfolk, VA 23511-2806.)
