	BOARD DATE:           22 February 2001                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000050787

	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. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. Stanley Kelley		Member	
	Mr. Ted S. Kanamine		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 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, be corrected to show she entered active duty on 15 January 1992.  She states that the entry on her DD Form 214 which shows she entered active duty on 15 January 1990 is a clerical error.  The error affects the amount of severance pay that is being recouped.

3.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Delayed Enlistment Program on 6 November 1991 and in the Regular Army on 15 January 1992.  She was discharged by reason of a physical disability with severance pay on 5 August 1994.  

4.  The applicant’s discharge orders correctly show that she was authorized disability severance pay based on 2 years, 6 months, and 21 days of service.  Her DD Form 214, item 12a erroneously shows she entered active duty on 15 January 1990 and item 12c erroneously shows she completed 4 years, 6 months, and 21 days of active service.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows that the applicant entered active duty on              15 January 1992 and completed 2 years, 6 months, and 21 days of active service.  Her DD Form 214 erroneously shows she entered active duty on 15 January 1990 and completed 4 years, 6 months, and 21 days of active service.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 214, items 12a and 12c be corrected to show she entered active duty on 15 January 1992 and completed 2 years, 6 months, and      21 days of active service, respectively.
