	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:

	Ms. JoAnn H. Langston		Chairperson	
	Mr. Curtis L. Greenway		Member	
	Mr. Eric N. Andersen		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 enlistment contract be corrected to show he enlisted for 5 years and 00 weeks.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that his enlistment contract erroneously shows he enlisted for 8 years and 00 weeks.

4.  The applicant’s U. S. Army Recruiting Command reservation sheets and Statement for Enlistment United States Army Training Enlistment Program, DA Form 3286-63, show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 10 August 2000 for 5 years and 00 weeks.  His Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract, DD Form 4/3, item 20a erroneously shows he enlisted for 8 years and 00 weeks.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is an administrative error on the applicant’s DD Form 4/3.  The evidence of record shows he enlisted on 10 August 2000 for 5 years and 00 weeks, not 8 years and 00 weeks.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 4/3 dated 10 August 2000, item 20a be corrected to show he enlisted for 5 years and 00 weeks.
