	Exhibit 

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:

7.  It is necessary to correct the applicant’s retirement points record by changing the dates of the retirement year 4 February 1956 to 11 January 1957 to show 
the dates as 4 February 1956 to 3 February 1957 and show that year as 1 good year in the USAR qualifying for retirement at age 60 with 358 points for the year.  This will correct the record to show that he has 20 years service qualifying for retirement at age 60.  The year following should then be shown as a partial year, 4 February 1957 to 11 January 1958, not a good year for retirement purposes.

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES: 

11.  The corrections identified in the additional findings are necessary to correct the injustice created by the applicant being honorably discharged 22 days early prior to his Expiration of Term of Service (ETS) from active duty in the Regular Army.  This action inadvertently made the year in question a short year not qualifying for retirement at age 60 and unjustly deprived the applicant of a good year for retirement.  The type of service for this year was changed by the basic Board proceedings to a USAR year so that the 358 points would provide a good year for retirement.  However, it then became necessary to change the inclusive dates of that year to be a full year, which this supplemental action will accomplish.

12.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected for the individual concerned by amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings, dated 18 August 1999, by:

	a.  changing on the retirement point statement the dates of the retirement year period 4 February 1956 to 11 January 1957 to show 4 February 1956 to 3 February 1957;

	b.  showing for the retirement year 4 February 1956 to 3 February 1957 that his status was USAR, that he had 15 retirement year membership points, that he had 358 total retirement points, and that the year is 1 good year countable toward retirement at age 60; and

	c.  changing the retirement year period of 12 January 1957 to 
11 January 1958 to show 4 February 1957 to 11 January 1958, with the commensurate correction of retirement year membership points, and showing it not a good year for retirement purposes.
