MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           9 December 1998                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AC98-12693

	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. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. June Hajjar		Chairperson	
	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		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 her DD Form 214 (report of separation) be corrected by showing a reentry (RE) code.

APPLICANT STATES:  That her DD Form 214 is incomplete without an RE code.

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

She enlisted in the Army Reserve effective 8 July 1991.  She entered her initial active duty for training (IADT) on 15 July 1991 and completed her military skill training on 9 November 1991.

Her DD Form 214 shows that she was released from IADT after 3 months and 25 days active duty and returned to her USAR unit upon completion of training as an administrative specialist. Her character of service is shown as “uncharacterized” and her RE code entry is “NA”.

Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the policy for preparing separation documents. Table 2-1 states that the RE code (block 27) for USAR members released after serving on active duty for training will be shown as “NA”.

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.  In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirement.

2.  The applicable regulation shows that the entry of “NA” for her RE code is correct for a member serving in her status at the time of separation.

3.  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.
