If a Marine requests separation before final action by the Secretary of the Navy, the Marine will be instructed that separation before that time may prejudice any future claim for disability benefits. No page 11 entry is required if the Marine requests separation. The Marine will draft a letter requesting discharge with an acknowledgement of the consequences of this request. This letter must be dated and signed by the Marine and witnessed by a judge advocate before actual separation. This letter shall be forwarded to the CMC (MMSR-4) with command endorsement for approval and inclusion into the Marine’s Physical Evaluation Board package.
