PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:  3 June 2003
	DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2003085400

	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 L. Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Joann Langston		Chairperson	
	Mr. Paul M. Smith		Member	
	Ms. Jennifer L. Prater		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, in effect, that his reenlistment contract dated            16 November 2002 be corrected to show he reenlisted for 6 years and his reenlistment contract dated 11 January 2003 be voided.

3.  The applicant makes no additional statement.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that, after having had prior service in  the Regular Army, he entered the U. S. Army Reserve in 1985 and has had continuous service since.

5.  The applicant last reenlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve on 16 November 2002.  Item 8 of his DD Form 4/1 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States) fails to show the length of his reenlistment.

6.  The applicant's unit apparently attempted to rectify the omission in the          16 November 2002 contract by having him execute another reenlistment contract on 11 January 2003.  This contract shows he reenlisted for 6 years.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is an administrative error on the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated           16 November 2002.  He reenlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve for 6 years yet  item 8 of his DD Form 4/1 does not reflect his period of reenlistment.  This reenlistment contract should be corrected to show he reenlisted for 6 years.

2.  It appears the applicant's unit attempted to correct the error on his                16 November 2002 reenlistment contract by having him execute another contract on 11 January 2003.  This contract should be voided.

3.  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 16 November 2002, item 8 be corrected to show he reenlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve for 6 years.

2.  That the applicant's DD Form 4/1 showing he reenlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve on 11 January 2003 be voided.
