The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 9 September 1997 in pay grade E-3. However, his DD Form 4/1 shows that he enlisted on 28 July 1997. Additional documents signed by the applicant and the enlistment counselor indicate enlistment on 9 September 1997. 4. In an advisory opinion to the Board, the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) advised that the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 incorrectly shows an enlistment date of 28 July 1997.
