  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Margaret K. Patterson		Chairperson	
	Mr. Arthur A. Omartian		Member	
	Mr. Elzey J. Arledge Jr.		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 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to reflect his correct date of entry on active duty to 27 December 1990, instead of 27 December 1991.

3.  The applicant states that this is a typographical error in the year, that he went on active duty in December 1990.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he is a career Reserve officer, Judge Advocate General Corps.  On 27 December 1990, he was ordered to active duty with his Reserve unit in support of Desert Shield/Desert Storm.  He was released from active duty on 3 May 1991 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

5.  The applicant’s DD form 214, item 12, shows his date of entry on active duty as 27 December 1991 and credited him with 4 months and 7 days net active service.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows that the applicant was ordered to active duty on 27 December 1990 in support of Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

2.  An administrative error was made in the preparation of his DD Form 214, showing an incorrect entry for the date he entered active duty.

3.  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 changing the applicant’s DD Form 214, item 12a, to show his date of entry on active duty this period as 27 December 1990.
