Navy and Marine Corps review boards recommended retaining transgender service members in nine of twelve cases, according to a New York Times report.
The New York Times reported that Navy separation boards recommended retaining transgender sailors in seven of nine cases since July, and Marine Corps boards recommended retention in two of three cases since August. Army and Air Force boards have overwhelmingly recommended discharge. The recommendations are not final and can be overturned by civilian service secretaries.
