Looking to help out a buddy that’s a retired Gunny sergeant.
For anyone that doesn’t know, you can apply for ‘extraordinary heroism’ at retirement, and if approved you get an extra 10% on top of your normal retirement. Obviously it’s gotta be above and beyond, from what I’ve heard dudes with a NAM w/V, or a single air medal with a V haven’t gotten approved.
I know the Navy process, but I’m looking for info, if anyone knows, on how/who a retired Marine can retroactively apply. My buddy got a bronze star with a V and Purple Heart from the same action and I’m trying to help him out to get the extra percentage on his retirement.
If anyone knows the applicable Marine pubs and/or how to look into it, I’d appreciate the help.
