	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. James E. Vick		Chairperson	
	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		Member	
	Mr. William D. Barr		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 enlistment contract be corrected to show she enlisted for 2 years and 00 weeks.  She states that she originally enlisted for       6 years but it was changed at the Reception Station to 2 years and 00 weeks.

3.  The applicant enlisted in the Delayed Entry Program on 31 May 2001 for training in military occupational specialty (MOS) 68D.  Her DD Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract, item 8a shows that she 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 7 June 2001.  Her DD Form 4/3, item 20a reflects that she enlisted for 6 years.

5.  The applicant’s Record of Military Processing, DD Form 1966/4, indicates that she renegotiated her contract at the Reception Station from training in MOS 68D to training in MOS 54B and from a 6-year commitment to a 2-year commitment.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows the applicant originally enlisted for 6 years and 00 weeks but renegotiated her contract to change her training option and enlistment commitment.  Her DD Forms 4/1 and 4/3 should be corrected to reflect the change to a 2-year enlistment.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated 31 May 2001, item 8a be corrected to show she was to enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 2 years and 00 weeks and that her DD Form 4/3 dated 7 June 2001, item 20a be corrected to show she enlisted in the Regular Army for 2 years and 00 weeks.
