	BOARD DATE:           12 January 2000                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999022866

	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.

	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. John N. Slone		Chairperson	
	Ms. Irene N. Wheelwright		Member	
	Mr. Luther L. Santiful		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 her DD Form 214, block 12a be corrected to read 96 04 05.

APPLICANT STATES:  She needs the correction to obtain a VA disability rating.

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

After having had prior enlisted service, she was appointed a commissioned officer in the U. S. Army Reserve.

The applicant’s military pay account shows she entered active duty on               23 October 1995 and was separated on 5 April 1996.  Her DD Form 214 shows she entered active duty on 23 October 1995 and was separated on 5 April 1996. She separated from Fort Huachuca, AZ.

On 22 June 1998, the Chief of the Fort Huachuca, AZ Transition Point requested correction of the applicant’s DD Form 214 to show she entered active duty on      5 April 1996.  No reason or explanation was given.

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 entered active duty on                23 October 1995.  She provides no evidence or reason to show why her date of entry on active duty should be changed to the same date she was separated.  

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.
