PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:        

	BOARD DATE:            21 December 1999
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999023626

	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.  

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Jessie B. Strickland		Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Hubert O. Fry, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Ms. Meta Waller		Member	
	Ms. Debra Williams		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 reenlistment contract dated 22 March 1997 be corrected to show that he reenlisted on 22 March 1998. 

3.  The applicant states that he reenlisted on 22 March 1998 for a period of 3 years; however, an administrative error resulted in his contract showing in block 5, that he reenlisted on 22 March 1997.  He goes on to state that the remainder of the contract correctly reflects the 22 March 1998 date.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that the applicant reenlisted in the USAR on 22 March 1998 for a period of 3 years.  The applicant and the reenlistment officer authenticated the contract on 22 March 1998; however, on the front page of the contract, in block 5, it reflects that he reenlisted on 22 March 1997.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  It is apparent by reviewing the entire contract that the applicant reenlisted on 22 march 1998 and that an administrative error resulted in the contract showing in block 5, that he reenlisted on 22 March 1997.  Accordingly, it would be in the interest of justice to correct the error at this time to show that he reenlisted on 22 March 1998.

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 amending the reenlistment contract of the individual concerned to show in block 5, that he reenlisted on 22 March 1998 instead of 22 March 1997 as currently reflected on his contract.
