	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2001053511

	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. Roger W. Able		Chairperson	
	Ms. Barbara J. Lutz		Member	
	Mr. William D. Powers		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/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United States, DD Form 4/1, be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-3.

3.  The applicant states that his DD Form 4/1 erroneously shows he enlisted in pay grade E-4.

4.  The applicant’s DD Form 4/1, item 8 erroneously shows he enlisted in the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) on 14 December 2000 in pay grade E-4.

5.  The applicant’s DD Form 4/3, item 21, shows he enlisted in the Regular Army on 5 February 2001 in pay grade E-3.  The U. S. Army Recruiting Command Liaison at Fort Leonard Wood, MO verifies that the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 should show he enlisted in the DEP 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 enlisted in the DEP on 14 December 2000 in pay grade E-3, not pay grade E-4.

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 14 December 2000, item 8 be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-3.
