	BOARD DATE:  19 December 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2000042858

	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.

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Lee Cates		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. James P. Huber		Chairperson	
	Mr. Kenneth L. Wright		Member	
	Mr. Raymond J. Wagner		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 records be corrected to authorize the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) and cancel his Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB).

APPLICANT STATES: That he believes the record to be unjust because he was given false information that he could not receive the SLRP because of the military occupational specialty (MOS) he had chosen.  He has since found this information to be false.

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

On 27 May 1997, he enlisted in the Army Reserve Delayed Enlistment Program in pay grade E-4, based on 4 years of college.

On 7 August 1997, he enlisted in the Regular Army, in pay grade E-4, for 4 years and the MGIB.  At this time, he specifically declined the Army College Fund and the SLRP.  

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:

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.

BOARD VOTE:
