PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           27 January 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999028968

	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.  

	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Irene N. Wheelwright		Chairperson	
	Mr. Stanley Kelley		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 her DD Form 214 be corrected to show her prior service.

3.  The applicant makes no additional statement.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she entered the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) on 4 May 1989.  (Service in the DEP after 1 January 1985 is not creditable for pay.)  She enlisted in the Regular Army on 23 August 1989.  She was discharged and immediately reenlisted on 3 October 1994.  She was discharged upon completing her required active service on 2 October 1998.  Her DD Form 214, item 12a erroneously shows she entered active duty on 1 April 1993.  Item 12c erroneously shows only service from 1993 through 1998.  Her initial enlistment is correctly shown in item 18.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is an administrative error on the applicant’s DD Form 214.  She served continuously on active duty from 23 August 1989 through 2 October 1998 for a total of 9 years, 1 month and 10 days of net active service.

2.  In view of the foregoing, it would be in the interest of justice to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the applicant’s DD Form 214, item 12a to read 1989 08 23 and item 12c to read 0009 01 10, respectively.
