2.  The Board, consisting of , reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on June 25, 2020 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, found that, before applying to this Board, he exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy.  The Board made the following findings: 
 
     a.  On December 2, 2013 Petitioner entered active duty service with U.S. Marine Corps. 
 
     b.  On November 13, 2019, while pending administrative separation proceedings, Petitioner rented UHUAL moving equipment and executed a PPM effective November 14, 2019 without appropriate authority. 
 
     c.  On December 13, 2019 the Commanding General,  submits recommendation for administrative discharge of Petitioner to HQMC MMRP-20. 
 
     d.  On December 17, 2019 Petitioner issued HHG move and dependents travel authorization in connection with pending administrative separation. 
 
     e.  On December 20, 2019 Petitioner’s General discharge (under Honorable conditions) effective this date. 
 
     f.  Petitioner contends that he was miss-informed by administrative personnel and conducted a unauthorized move due to the information they provided. 
                                
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action.  The Board concluded even though no administrative error was made by the service concerning the Petitioner’s administrative separation relief is warranted for the HHG PPM and this conclusion does not affect the outcome of the Administrative Separation results.
