	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2001052655

	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 his enlistment contract be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-1.

3.  The applicant states that his enlistment contract erroneously shows he enlisted in pay grade E-3.

4.  On 4 January 2001, the applicant received an approved grade determination for the purpose of enlistment in the grade of E-1 as an exception to Retention Control Point policy.  On 17 January 2001, he enlisted in the Regular Army.  His Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract, DD Form 4/1, item 8 erroneously shows he enlisted in pay grade E-3.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is an administrative error on the applicant’s DD Form 4/1.  The evidence of record shows he was authorized to enlist in pay grade E-1, not pay grade E-3.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated 17 January 2001, item 8 be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-1.
