PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:      

	BOARD DATE:            24 March 1999                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1998101600

	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. Ed Clark		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. James E. Vick		Chairperson	
	Mr. Roger W. Able		Member	
	Mr. Allen L. Raub		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 his enlistment date be shown as 30 September, vice 27 July 1998.

3.  DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document - Armed Forces of the United States, Item 5, reflects that the applicant was enlisted in the Regular Army on 27 July 1998 for a period of 3 years; however, DD Form 4/2 , Items D and E, as well as other documents pertaining to the applicant's enlistment show that he was enlisted on 30 September 1998.  Additionally, Orders 179-1, Military Entrance Processing Station, Jackson, Mississippi, dated 30 September 
1998, show that he was enlisted on that date and ordered to report to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri on that date. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant was enlisted in the Regular Army on 30 September 
1998.  Apparently due to administrative error, his DD Form 4/1, Item 
5, erroneously reflects that he was enlisted on 27 July 1998.

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 amending DD Form 4/1, Item 5, pertaining to the individual concerned, to show that he was enlisted in the Regular Army on 30 September 1998.
