Naval Speedletter: Services Not Required (October 19, 1945)

In view of your general service classification and since reference (c) found you physically qualified for limited shore duty only, you are not considered physically qualified for promotion and the authority for your appointment to the rank of Lieutenant Commander under the terms of reference (d) has termi[nated].

By endorsement to reference (c) this Bureau modified the recommendations of the Board of Medical Survey and the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and you are to be released from active duty since your services are not required in your
limited capacity.

Therefore, no action will be taken to effect your promotion prior to your release from active duty.

Your attention is invited to A1Nav 346-45.
