	BOARD DATE:           9 January 2001                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000047961

	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. Mark D. Manning		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 her enlistment contract be corrected to show she enlisted for 4 years and 00 weeks.

3.  The U. S. Army Recruiting Command Liaison at Fort Leonard Wood, MO states that the applicant was enlisted in error for military occupational specialty (MOS) 97E (Interrogator).  She had failed to meet the requirements at the Military Entrance Processing Station and again at the Basic Training Reception Battalion. She was counseled, waived her right to discharge, and her contract was renegotiated.  She enlisted for an alternate option of training in MOS 92Y (Unit Supply Specialist) for which only a 4-year enlistment was required.

4.  The applicant enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve Delayed Entry Program (DEP) on 25 May 2000.  Her Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United States, DD Form 4/1, item 8a shows that she was required to enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 5 years and 00 weeks.  On 28 June 2000, she enlisted in the Regular Army.  Her DD Form 4/3, item 20a shows that she enlisted for 5 years and 00 weeks.

5.  On 1 September 2000, the applicant was advised that due to guidance counselor error her enlistment was erroneous.  She waived her enlistment commitment and selected an alternate option of training in MOS 92Y and a        4-year enlistment. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Since the applicant waived her original enlistment commitment and selected an alternate enlistment option which required (and which she elected) only a      4-year enlistment, her DD Forms 4/1 and 4/3 should be corrected.  Her DD Form 4/1 dated 25 May 2000 should be corrected to show that she would enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 4 years and 00 weeks.  Her DD Form 4/3 should be corrected to show she enlisted in the Regular Army on 28 June 2000 for         4 years and 00 weeks.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated 25 May 2000, item 8a be corrected to show she would enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 4 years and 00 weeks.

2.  That the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated 28 June 2000, item 20a be corrected to show that she enlisted in the Regular Army for 4 years and 00 weeks.
