	BOARD DATE:           8 February 2001                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000047659

	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 Langston		Chairperson	
	Mr. George D. Paxson		Member	
	Mr. Donald P. Hupman, Jr.		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 Report of Transfer or Discharge, DD Form 214, be corrected to show he served on active duty for 3 years and 6 months.

3.  The applicant states that his service was erroneously computed when he separated.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 13 January 1965 for 3 years.  He extended on 9 January 1968 for 6 months.  He was released from active duty on 13 July 1968 after completing 3 years, 6 months, and 1 day of creditable active service with no lost time.  His DD Form 214, in items 22a(1), 22a(3), and 22b, erroneously shows that he had completed 2 years, 6 months and 0 days of creditable service.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There are administrative errors on the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 July 1968.  He had completed 3 years, 6 months, and 1 day of creditable active service, not the 2 years, 6 months, and 0 days as listed.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 July 1968, items 22a(1), 22a(3), and 22b be corrected to show he completed 3 years, 6 months, and 1 day of service.
