SUPPLEMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:      

	BOARD DATE:            24 February 1999
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AC98-10603B
	                                   AR1999015492

	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.  A quorum was present during the further consideration and deliberation.  The findings appearing in proceedings dated 28 October 1998 were affirmed.  The following additional findings, conclusions, and recommendation were adopted by the Board.

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

	The Board convened at the call of the Director on the above date to reconsider the conclusions and recommendation appearing in proceedings dated 28 October 1998.

	Mr. Calvin M. Fowler		Chairperson	
	Mr. Mark D. Manning		Member	
	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		Member	

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

	The Board considered the following additional evidence:

Exhibit C-Total Army Personnel Command Endorsement,
                14 December 1998

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:

7.  In a subsequent review of this Board’s proceedings in this matter the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) states that no additional service credit can be awarded to the applicant because she signed the SMP contract and the ROTC contract in reverse order.  In the view of PERSCOM the applicant has already received credit for ROTC/SMP participation from 18 to 22 August 1982.

8.  Orders #10-1, issued on 10 May 1984 by the Third ROTC Region, show that the applicant was relieved from her USAR unit assignment and discharged as an SMP cadet on 10 May 1984 to accept a commission on 11 May 1984.  This is further evidence that she continued to participate in the SMP program until her date of commission.

9.  The Board additionally notes that throughout the original proceedings the applicant was inadvertently referred to as he/him/his.  This error is corrected in this supplemental proceeding by noting that the applicant is a female and referring to her appropriately as she/her.

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES:

3.  That the applicant believed that she had fulfilled all of her duties in ROTC and the SMP program but had been mistakenly allowed to execute the required forms for membership in both programs in reverse order.  This action has resulted in an injustice to the applicant by not placing her in a position to receive all due service credit.

4.  Since it was the intention of this Board to grant the applicant relief for additional service credit for her time spent in a USAR unit while attending ROTC it is also necessary to amend the date of her ROTC/SMP contract, as an exception to policy.

5.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings, dated 28 October 1998, to show that the individual signed her ROTC/SMP contract on 24 August 1982, the day following her enrolment in the advanced course of the Senior ROTC program.

BOARD VOTE:
