PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF: 

	BOARD DATE:           3 February 2000                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999028933

	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.  

	Ms. Wanda L. Waller		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Margaret K. Patterson 		Chairperson	
	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		Member	
	Mr. Ernest W. Lutz, 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 item 16 (Date Inducted) of his DD Form 214 (Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected to show 1 November 1960 instead of 2 November 1962.

3.  The applicant states that his DD Form 214 has the wrong entry date and that he actually entered the Army on 1 November 1960.  In support of his application, he submits a copy of his DD Form 214.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he was inducted on 2 November 1960.  He served as a personnel specialist and was honorably discharged on
1 November 1962.

5.  Item 16 (Date Inducted) of the applicant’s DD Form 214 shows “2 Nov 62”.

6.  Item 27a (Date of Induction) on the applicant’s DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) shows “2 NOV 1960”.  U. S. Army Recruiting Main Station Special Orders Number 255, dated 2 November 1960, shows the applicant was inducted on 2 November 1960.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board notes the applicant’s contention that he entered the Army on
1 November 1960.  However, evidence of record shows that the applicant was inducted on 2 November 1960.

2.  Item 16 (Date Inducted) on the applicant’s DD Form 214 incorrectly shows 
“2 Nov 62”.  Therefore, it would be in the interest of justice to correct the applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 1 November 1962, at this time.  

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:

a.  by deleting the entry “2 Nov 62” in item 16 (Date Inducted) on the DD Form 214 with an effective date of 1 November 1962 of the individual concerned; and

	b.  by adding the entry “2 Nov 60” in item 16 of the DD Form 214.
