PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           25 June 2002
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2002067536

	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	
	Ms. Nancy L. Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. John N. Slone		Chairperson	
	Mr. Elzey J. Arledge, Jr.		Member	
	Mr. Thomas Lanyi		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 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, for the period ending 14 June 1997 be corrected to show he had 2 years, 9 months, and 26 days of prior active duty.

3.  The applicant states that his DD Form 214 incorrectly shows he had 10 years and 27 days of prior active duty.  He provides his DD Form 214 for the period ending 5 June 1986 as supporting evidence.

4.  The applicant’s military records from his initial period of service only are available.  They show that he was born on 13 September 1964.  He entered the Delayed Entry Program on 12 October 1982.  He enlisted in the Regular Army on 10 August 1983.  He was released from active duty on 5 June 1986 after completing 2 years, 9 months, and 26 days of net active service that period.  There is no evidence of record to show he had any active duty while in the U. S. Army Reserve Control Group (Reinforcement).  (A summary of retirement points was not found on the applicant.  Only a detailed points history was available but it begins with retirement point start date 15 April 2000.)

5.  The applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 14 June 1997 shows that he reenlisted in the Regular Army on 21 March 1990 and was discharged on     14 June 1997 upon completing his required active service.  That DD Form 214, item 12d shows that he completed a total of 10 years and 27 days of prior active service.

6.  Apparently, the applicant enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve on 15 April 2000.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There appears to be an error on the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 14 June 1997, item 12d.  The evidence of record shows that he had only 2 years, 9 months, and 26 days of prior active service. 

2.  It appears that the applicant enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve on 15 April 2000.  He is encouraged to contact the U. S. Army Reserve Personnel Command to ensure his retirement points history is accurate.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 14 June 1997, item 12d be amended to show he had 2 years, 9 months, and 26 days of total prior active service.
