	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. William Blakely.		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Celia L. Adolphi 		Chairperson	
	Mr. Van B. Cunningham		Member	
	Mr. Curtis L. Greenway		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests that the date she entered active duty (item 12a) of her DD Form 214 (separation document) be corrected. 

3.  The applicant states that she took the oath and entered active duty on 
2 September 1980.  She submits a copy of her DA Form 2A (Personnel Qualification Record) that indicates she entered active duty on 2 September 1980. 

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she entered the Army on 
2 September 1980 for a period of 4 years.  She was honorably discharged on
30 August 1992 under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph
16-8, enlisted voluntary transition program.  Her highest rank attained was staff sergeant (E-6).  She completed 11 years, 11 months, and 29 days of total active service.  

5.  The date entered active duty as shown in item 12a of the applicant’s
DD Form 214 prepared at the time her separation shows the year as “80”, the months “00”, and the days “00”.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The date shown for the applicant entering active duty, item 12a of 
DD Form 214 is incorrect.

2.  Item 12a of the applicant’s DD Form 214 should reflect 2 September 1980 as the date she entered active duty, as verified by the file.

3.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case, particularly item 12a of the DD Form 214 issued to the individual concerned on 30 August 1992, be corrected by showing 2 September 1980 (800902) as the date she entered active duty.
