PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           16 July 2002
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2002072478

	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. Fred N. Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Mr. Melvin H. Meyer		Member	
	Mr. Donald P. Hupman, Jr.		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 22 December 2000 item 12a be corrected to show he entered active duty in 1994 and item 12c to show he completed 6, not 10, years, of active service.  He provides his DD Forms 214 for the periods ending 21 June 1991 and 22 December 2000 and his Army enlistment contract as supporting evidence.

3.  The applicant’s military records show that he served on active duty in the U. S Navy from 22 June 1987 – 21 June 1991.  He enlisted in the Regular Army on     2 March 1994 and separated on 22 December 2000.  His DD Form 214 for the period ending 22 December 2000, item 12a shows he entered active duty on      2 March 1990.  Item 12c shows he had 10 years, 9 months, and 21 days of active service this period.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 22 December 2000 contains two errors in item 12.  Item 12a should show that he entered active duty that period on 2 March 1994 (not 1990) and item 12c should show that he completed 6 years, 9 months, and 21 days of active service for that period (not 10 years, 9 months, and 21 days).

2.  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 22 December 2000 be corrected, in item 12a, to show he entered active duty on 2 March 1994 and, in item 12c, to show he completed 6 years, 9 months, and 21 days of active service for that period.
