	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. George D. Paxson		Chairperson	
	Mr. Melvin H. Meyer		Member	
	Ms. Paula Mokulis		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 records be corrected to show he is entitled to basic allowance for subsistence (BAS) for the period 3 January through 30 April 2000.

3.  The applicant makes no additional statement.

4.  The applicant’s military records are not available.  The information contained herein was obtained from alternate sources.

5.  The applicant was assigned to Fort Irwin, CA and apparently signed in to his new unit there on 3 January 2000.  His commander approved his request for BAS on 17 May 2000 retroactive to 3 January 2000 on a Personnel Action form, DA Form 4187.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concludes that there is sufficient evidence to show the applicant is authorized regular BAS effective 3 January 2000.

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 paying to the applicant all due regular BAS retroactive to 3 January 2000.
