MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           15 February 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999026202

	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. Fred Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Ms. Karol A. Kennedy		Member	
	Mr. Roger Able		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 DD Form 214 be corrected to show the active Reserve time he served from September 1974 through September 1977.

APPLICANT STATES:  That his active Reserve time was not added to his DD Form 214 after he requested it be.  He feels the record should reflect the correct amount of service he performed for his country.  He provides no supporting evidence.

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

He entered the Delayed Entry Program on 11 August 1971.  He enlisted in the Regular Army on 13 September 1971 and was released from active duty on        9 September 1974 after completing 2 years, 11 months and 27 days of creditable active service.  He enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 10 September 1974 and was discharged on 18 September 1977.  He reenlisted in the Regular Army on 18 May 1978 and retired on 1 June 1995.  His DD Form 214, item 12d shows he had 2 years, 11 months and 27 days of total prior active service.

Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the separation documents prepared for soldiers upon retirement, discharge or release from active military service.  It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of DD Form 214.  It states that information for completing item 12d will be taken from previously issued DD Forms 214.

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 regulation provides that item 12d of the DD Form 214 will contain information taken from previously issued DD Forms 214.  The applicant has not provided evidence to show that he was issued any DD Forms 214 (such as for active duty for training) during his USAR service.

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.
