	BOARD DATE:               19 January 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:      AR1999029854

	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.  

	Ms. Joyce A. Wright		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. Curtis L. Greenway		Member	
	Mr. John P. Infante		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 her reenlistment document (DD Form 4/3 (Continuation of DD Form 4/1 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States)) be corrected to show that she reenlisted on 7 July 1999 for a period of 3 years vice 8 years.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that her DD Form 4/3 (Continuation of DD Form 4/1) is incorrect.  In support of her application she submits a copy of DD Form 4/1 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States), copy of DD Form 4/2 (Continuation of DD Form 4/1), copy of DD Form 4/3 (Continuation of DD Form 4) and a copy of a US Army Enlisted Records Reservation Information Sheet. 

4.  Records show she enlisted on 7 July 1999 for a period of 3 years.

5.  In the processing of this case an advisory opinion (COPY ATTACHED) was provided by the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) Retention Management Division.  The PERSCOM stated that the applicant enlisted in the USAR Delayed Entry Program (DEP) on 3 June 1999 as indicated on the DD Form 4/1, for a period of 8 years.  PERSCOM also stated that the 
applicant enlisted on active duty on 7 July 1999 for a period of 3 years, however, the DD Form 4/3 reflects an incorrect term of service of 8 years.  Therefore, recommend the DD Form 4/3, Line 20a, be changed to read 3 years instead of 
8 years as supported by the annexes to the enlistment contract.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Based upon evidence of record and the advisory opinion, it appears that the applicant enlisted for a period of 3 years vice 8 years on 7 July 1999, however,
the DD Form 4/3 reflects an incorrect term of service of 8 years.  Therefore, recommend the DD Form 4/3 item 20a be changed to read 3 years instead of 8 years.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the DD Form 4/3 item 20a to show a period of 3 years instead of
8 years.
