MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           21 May 2002                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2002066816

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. W. W. Osborn, Jr.		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Jennifer L. Prater		Chairperson	
	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		Member	
	Mr. Thomas Lanyi		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his basic active service date (BASD) be adjusted from 21 January 1993 to 26 September 1992.

APPLICANT STATES:  That his BASD was not changed at the time of his discharge.  To substantiate his case he cites a 29 October 1993 DA Form 1506 (Statement of Service – for Computation of length of Service for Pay Purposes). 

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

That following Army Reserve service from 21 January 1992 to 21 January 1993 the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army and served on active duty until 9 September 1998 when he was discharged with disability severance pay.

The 1993 DA Form 1506, which the applicant submitted, shows calculations adjusting his BASD by subtracting 3 months and 25 days (the Reserve time he spent on active duty) from his 21 January 1993 (the date of his enlistment).  This yields a BASD of 26 September 1992, the date listed as his BASD on the form.  

His DA Form 2A, (Personnel Qualification Record Part 1) dated 12 August 1998 shows the applicant's BASD as 26 September 1992

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  The record reflects that, contrary to the applicant's assertion, the change of his BASD to 26 September 1992 has already been made.

2.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
