Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) received no payment, his account was 
properly reported to the credit bureau network on 15 February 2015. 

CONCLUSION
 
Upon review and considerati on ofall the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an 
injustice warranting the following corrective action. Petitioner met the basic eligibility criteria 
fo r Full ISP in accordance with Military Personnel Manual article 1920-040. However, as a 
result of an administrative error in Petitioner signing the Ready Reserve agreement the day after 
his discharge from active duty, the separation payment was rescinded. The Board felt Petitioner 
met the eligibility criteria for full ISP and under these circumstances, a measure of relief is 
warranted. 

RECOMMENDATION

3-years in the Ready Reserve on 16 August 20 14 with an effective date of 17 August 2014. 
These change will entitle the Petitioner to Full ISP. Note: DFAS will complete an audit of 

Petitioner's pay records to determine if Petitioner is due any back pay. 

A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner' s naval record.
