Subj: REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD ICO 
Ref: (a) Title 10 U.S.C. § 1552 
Encl: (1) DD Form 149 w/attachments 
(2) Subject's naval record 

1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed 
enclosure (1) with this Board requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected 
to transfer two retirement points from one anniversary year to another. 
2. The Board, consisting ofreviewed Petitioner's 
allegations of error and injustice on 4 May 2018 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, relevant portions of 
Petitioner's naval record, 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. Petitioner was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve 
upon his graduation from the United States Naval Academy on 26 May 1999. 
c. Petitioner was augmented in the U.S. Marine Corps on 13 August 2003. 
d. Petitioner resigned (intradepartmental transfer) his commission in the U.S. Marine Corps 
on 10 June 2009, and transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). 
e. Petitioner joined the Selected Marine Corps Reserve on 14 September 2010. 
f. On 5 January 2018, OIC, Ready Reserve, IPAC, Marine Forces Reserve stated the 
following: "There is a system glitch that seems to mainly apply to Officers where a prior active 
duty officer (comp code 11) or/and with prior "reserve" time (service academy/SMCR) joining 
to the IRR does not correctly populate the CRCR. Marines can go years without identifying an 
erroneous start date." 

CONCLUSION 
Upon review and consideration ofall the evidence of record, the Board concludes that 
Petitioner's request warrants favorable action. The Board found the Petitioner participated in 
good faith with an understanding that he was required to attain a minimum of 50 points within 
his anniversary year ending 29 June of each year. Subsequently, an error was found and the 
Petitioner's anniversary was adjusted to reflect on 25 May, resulting a shift of points, which 
contributed the loss of a qualifying year (30 June 2010 to 29 June 2011). Nevertheless, the 
Board felt that under these circumstances, a measure of relief is warranted. 

RECOMMENDATION 
That Petitioner's naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
The Petitioner completed all training and administrative requirements to include 50 points for the 
anniversary year ending 25 May 2011. Note: to accomplish this, two points must be transferred 
from the anniversary year ending 25 May 2012, as necessary. 
A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner's naval record. 
4. It is certified that 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. 
Recorder 
5. Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the 
Board for Correction of Naval Records (3.2 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and 
having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing 
corrective action, taken under the authority ofreference (a), has been approved by the Board on 
behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
