	BOARD DATE:        28 October 1998       
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AC98-09191

	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	
	Ms. Deborah L. Brantley			Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Joann H. Langston			Chairperson	
	Mr. Curtis W. Barbee, Jr.			Member	
	Mr. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.			Member	

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

	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)

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 her records be corrected to reflect a date of birth of 7 February 1944 vice 2 February 1944.  In support of her request she submits a copy of her birth certificate and a document from the Social Security Administration.

3.  Records available to the Board indicate the applicant entered active duty on 31 July 1962.  While her enlistment contract reflects a date of birth of 2 February 1944 all other documents associated with her enlistment, including the certification certificate from her mother, reflects a date of birth of 7 February 1944.

4.  The applicant was released from active duty on 11 April 1963.  Her date of birth in item 6 on her separation document reflects 2 February 1944.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record confirms that the applicant date of birth was 
7 February 1944 and that her separation document incorrectly reflects 
2 February.

2.  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 be corrected by showing that her date of birth was 7 February 1944 vice 2 February 1944.
