CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 

1.  The applicant initially served in the U.S. Navy from 7 June 1989 through 4 June 1993.  His DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) with an ending date of 4 June 1993 shows he was paid 50.0 days of accrued leave.  He served in the Army National Guard from 5 July 1993 through 4 July 1996.  

2.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 24 August 1999 and served on active duty until being discharged on 16 August 2002.  His DD Form 214 with an ending date of 16 August 2002 shows he was paid 10.0 days of accrued leave.
