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.

reference (b), Petitioner was assigned to Wounded Warrior Battalion (West) on Temporary 
Additional Duty effective 14 August 20 17. 

c. Petitioner initiated shipment of his Household Goods (HHG) on 15 October 2017. 

d. On 15 November 2017, Petitioner received orders to depart 
on or about 20 November 2017. 

e. On or about 1 February 2018, Petitioner submitted his claim for reimbursement; however, 
the claim was not accepted by Distribution Management Office (DMO) in 
because the move occurred prior to the effective date of orders.
