	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	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. John D. Miller		Chairperson	
	Ms. Carol Jo Suiter		Member	
	Mr. John E. Denning		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 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, be corrected to show his military occupational specialty (MOS) as 96B10 and his rank and grade to show Private (PV2), E-2.

3.  The applicant makes no additional statement.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Army National Guard on 23 November 1996.  He was ordered to initial active duty for training on 29 June 1997 for approximately 26 weeks.  He was advanced to PV2 effective  29 December 1997.  He completed advanced individual training on 5 February 1998 and was awarded MOS 96B10 effective that date.  He was released from active duty on 5 February 1998 upon completing his required active service.  His DD Form 214 shows his rank and grade as Private (PV1), E-1 with a date of rank of 23 November 1996 and his MOS as 96B00.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concludes that there are administrative errors on the applicant’s DD Form 214.  He was a PV2 at the time he was released from active duty, having been advanced to PV2 effective 29 December 1997, and he had been awarded MOS 96B10.

2.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 214 be amended to read PV2, E-2 in items 4a and 4b; 96B10 in item 11; and 1997 12 29 in item 12h.
