Sheila:
Roger below. Like I said last week, I don't want to get into a situation where we (USMC collectively) are bumping this retirement date out "30 days at a time" all summer long.
LtCol Vokey: 1 August is your official retirement date. You need to make sure you pass on the all the details to your relief. You need to understand the "hoop jumps and drama" that results from changes to your retirement date. In fact, I'll guess that your pay has been/will be somewhat jacked up between now and Christmas...

Mrs. Arritt,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today and letting me know that my retirement extension was granted. As you know, I am delaying my retirement so that I may complete my Haditha court-martial as a defense counsel. While it is still uncertain as to when the trial will begin, it seems likely that it won't begin until at least mid-June. As such, I believe that a 1 July retirement date is no longer sufficient.
As a
result, I request that my retirement date be moved to 1 August instead.
Given the current situation, I believe that a 1 August retirement date will allow sufficient time for me to complete the case prior to departing.
Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding my situation.
V/R
