PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF: 

	BOARD DATE:  14 November 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2000040957

	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. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Shirley Powell		Chairperson	
	Ms. Terry L. Placek		Member	
	Ms. Meta Waller		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 Academic Evaluation Report (AER), dated 25 November 1992, be removed from his records.  His request to remove a duplicate AER, dated 3 November 1995, has been administratively accomplished.

3.  The applicant makes no statement in support of his application.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he attended the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC) from 18 to 25 November 1992 when he was academically released.  This AER is filed in his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).

5.  The applicant again attended PLDC from 31 August to 30 September 1994 and achieved course standards.  The AER for this course completion is also filed in his OMPF.

6.  In the processing of this case an advisory opinion was provided by the Enlisted Records and Evaluation Center (EREC).  The EREC opined that the AER dated 25 November 1992 should be removed from his OMPF and that they have already removed the duplicate AER dated 3 November 1995.  The applicant was provided an opportunity to review and comment on the advisory opinion but failed to respond in the time provided.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Although the AER, dated 25 November 1992, was filed in his OMPF according to regulations, it would appear to be in the interest of justice to have it expunged from his records.

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 for the individual concerned be corrected by expunging from his OMPF the AER dated 25 November 1992.
