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

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Michael L. Engle		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Karen L. Wolff		Chairperson	
	Mr. Arthur A. Omartian		Member	
	Mr. Thomas B. Redfern, III		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

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

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his expiration term of service (ETS) date be corrected to show 27 September 1996 and that he be relieved of any indebtedness to the United States Government as a result of this error.

APPLICANT STATES:  That he served in the Army Reserve and attended annual training at Fort Dix, New Jersey in September 1996, for 95B (military police), and outprocessed from active duty training on 27 September 1996.

In support of his application, he provides a copy of his separation document from the Regular Army (DD Form 214), a copy of orders to attend military police training, and a copy of his reserve unit’s yearly activities projection showing drill dates for training year 1996.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

He enlisted in the Army on 5 September 1991 for 2 years and 22 weeks.  He completed his initial training as a medical specialist (91B) and attained the rank of specialist (E-4).

The applicant was honorably released from active duty on 11 January 1994 by reason of completion of required active service and transferred to the USAR Control Group (AT), St. Louis, Missouri.  He completed 2 years, 4 months and    7 days of creditable active service.

Order 168-114, published on 19 May 1996 by Headquarters, 99th Regional Support Command (provided by the applicant) shows that the applicant was ordered to attend annual training at Fort Dix, New Jersey for the purpose of completing phase 2 of basic military police training.  His report date is shown as 3 September 1996, with 15 days allowed for active duty training.  Upon completion of training, unless sooner relieved by proper authority, he was to return to the place where he entered and be relieved from such duty.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  The available evidence of record shows that the applicant served on active duty and was honorably REFRAD.  Other than the order to annual training provided by the applicant, there is no evidence of record available to the Board detailing his reserve service.

2.  The applicant has provided a copy of orders directing that he attend active training during the month of September 1996, however, he has not provided any evidence showing that he actually started or completed this training.
3.  Further, the applicant has not provided any substantiating evidence showing that he is wrongly indebted to the United States Government.

4.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
