	BOARD DATE:  8 March 2001
	DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2000047422

	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	
	Ms. Stephanie Thompkins		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Roger Able		Chairperson	
	Ms. Barbara J. Lutz		Member	
	Mr. William D. Powers		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 all of his service time be shown on his DD Form 214, separation document.

3.  The applicant states that he has no official document that states he served from 8 December 1963 to 28 January 1964 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.  He submits copies of orders dated 21 November 1963, an Active Duty Report dated 11 December 1963, Record of Assignments, DD Form 214 dated 5 May 1964, and his Army National Guard Discharge dated 28 September 1969.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Massachusetts Army National Guard (MA ARNG) as a private, pay grade E-1 on 29 September 1963.

5.  On 21 November 1963 he was ordered to active duty for training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina with a report date of 8 December 1963.  He reported for basic training effective 7 December 1963, including constructed travel time, and to advanced individual training effective 1 March 1964. 

6.  He was promoted to private E-2 on 29 January 1964.  He was awarded military occupational specialty Food Service Helper, code 940.00.

7.  He was released on 5 May 1964 and returned to State control as a member of the MA ARNG, for completion of his remaining statutory service obligation.

8.  He was issued a DD Form 214 showing he was credited with 3 months and 7 days [sic] net service this period in Item 24a(1), and 4 months of other service (inactive duty) for a total of 7 months and 7 days [sic] in Item 24a(3).  His DD Form 214 incorrectly shows his total active service for this period as 3 months and 7 days in Item 24b.

9.  His net service for this period was 4 months and 29 days.  

10.  He was honorably discharged from the MA ARNG on 28 September 1969.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant is entitled to correction to his separation document dated 5 May 1964 to show 4 months and 29 days net service (active duty) this period.

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 7 December 1964 as the date of entry in Item 19c, 4 months and 29 days net service in Item 24a(1), 8 months and 29 days total service in Item 24a(3), and 4 months and 29 days total active service in Item 24b on the separation document of the individual concerned.
