IV. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

The Board members concluded that Xxxxxxxx was provided adequate informa­tion upon which to make an informed decision of whether or not to remain in the inactive reserve. Xxxxxxxx received the same packet of materials sent to all other officers in the reserve. Included in the packet of materials was a document entitled .'Notice", which described the benefits of remaining in the Inactive Reserve Corps. The key statements in this document related to Xxxxxxxx'x request were as follows:

"Dear Inactive Reserve Member :

Before you become involved in the bulk of this packet we would like to point out the important benefits you derive from remaining in the PHS Commissioned Corps inactive reserve program. Among these are:

-  Longevity credit for our time in the inactive reserve. If called to active or training duty, your base pay rate will be calculated on total years of active and inactive service. Also, PHS service credit will be accepted in other uniformed services.

The Board concluded that the referenced document clearly stated the benefits to Xxxxxxxx of remaining in the inactive reserve and that his intention not to remain in the reserve was indicated when he signed the termination card on Xxxxxxxx, 1980.

V.  RECOMMENDATION

After consideration of all information presented, the recommendation of the members of the Board for Correction is that Xxxxxxxx'x request be denied, and that no correction be made to his record placing him in the Inactive Reserve Corps.

I certify that each of the Board members has read this report and that its content is a true and complete statement of the deliberation of the Board.
