MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF: 

	BOARD DATE:           29 September 1999                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999019266

	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	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Mr. Thomas A. Pagan		Member	
	Ms. Meta Waller		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 his records be corrected to show he entered active duty on 18 July 1957 and was discharged on 2 December 1959.

APPLICANT STATES:  That he was discharged on 2 December 1959, not 1960. No supporting evidence is provided.

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

He enlisted in the Regular Army on 9 July 1959.  His enlistment contract reflects that he had no prior active or inactive service.  On 18 November 1960, the appropriate authority approved a recommendation to separate the applicant under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-209 for unsuitability.  On                 2 December 1960, he was discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-209.  He had completed 1 year, 3 months and 18 days of creditable active service and had 36 days of lost time.

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 evidence of record shows the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on   9 July 1959 with no prior service and was discharged on 2 December 1960.  

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.
