After discussion with church apostle Harold B. Lee (his former stake president), Monson declined the committee and applied for a discharge. The Navy granted his belch in the last grouping processed before the Korean War.[16] Lee set him apart six months after as a bishop—mentioning in the approval that he likely would not take been called if he had accepted the commission.[17] [16]
