	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Samuel A. Crumpler		Chairperson	
	Ms. Ann M. Campbell		Member	
	Mr. Kenneth L. Wright		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 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, block 8 be corrected to show she enlisted in pay grade E-2.

3.  The applicant states that she was authorized to enlist in pay grade E-2, not pay grade E-4.

4.  The applicant’s military records are not available.  The information contained herein was obtained from documents provided by the applicant.

5.  After having had prior service in the U. S. Marine Corps, the applicant applied for enlistment in the Regular Army.  On 20 March 2000, the Retention Management Division, U. S. Total Army Personnel Command determined the applicant was eligible to enlist in pay grade E-2 for a period not to exceed 4 years.

6.  On 10 April 2000, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army.  Her DD Form 4/1 shows she enlisted in pay grade E-4 for 5 years and 00 weeks.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concludes that two administrative errors occurred in this case.  The applicant was authorized to enlist in the Regular Army in pay grade E-2 for a period not to exceed 4 years.  Her DD Form 4/1 erroneously shows she enlisted in pay grade E-4 for a period of 5 years.

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 be corrected by showing that the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 10 April 2000 in pay grade E-2 for a period of 4 years and 00 weeks.
