	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, in effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Separation Document) to reflect $53,615.87 as the correct dollar amount of separation pay.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that the remark section on his DD Form 214 should reflect $53,615.87 and not $63,561.61, so that he can recoup the amount already collected.

4.  He enlisted in the Regular Army on 23 April 1977 and was commissioned in the Army Reserve on 28 May 1985.  The applicant had served 15 years, 05 months and 09 days of creditable service before being discharged on 2 October 1992, under the Voluntary Incentive Program – SSB, with an Honorable discharge.

5.  According to a pay voucher dated 2 October 1992, from FAO, Fort McPherson, the applicant was paid $53, 615.87 for separation pay.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Applicant is entitled to separation pay for 185 months of active service and therefore should have DD Form 214 corrected.

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 the applicant is entitled to separation pay in the amount of 
$53,615.87 and that a DD Form 215 be issued to show the correct amount of the entitlement.
