	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           23 August 2001                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2001059643

	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. John H. Kern		Chairperson	
	Mr. Thomas Lanyi		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 enlistment contract be corrected to show he enlisted for 4 years and 00 weeks.  He states that he changed his military occupational specialty (MOS) which changed his enlistment commitment from 6 years to 4 years.

3.  The applicant enlisted in the Delayed Entry Program on 22 January 2001 for training in an MOS that required a 6-year commitment.  His DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract, item 8a shows that he was to enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 6 years and 00 weeks.  

4.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 6 July 2001.  His DD Form 4/3, item 20a reflects that he enlisted for 6 years and 00 weeks.

5.  The U. S. Army Recruiting Command Liaison Noncommissioned Officer has stated that the applicant renegotiated his contract to training in MOS 75F and from a 6-year commitment to a 4-year commitment.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows the applicant originally enlisted for 6 years and 00 weeks but renegotiated his contract to change his training option and enlistment commitment.  His DD Forms 4/1 and 4/3 should be corrected to reflect the change to a 4-year enlistment.

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 22 January 2001, item 8a be corrected to show he was to enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 4 years and 00 weeks and that his DD Form 4/3 dated 6 July 2001, item 20a be corrected to show he enlisted in the Regular Army for 4 years and 00 weeks.
