PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:       

	BOARD DATE:            23 March 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999030264

	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. Joseph A. Adriance		Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Shirley L. Powell		Chairperson	
	Mr. Roger Able		Member	
	Mr. James E. Anderholm		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 the date of induction listed on his 
DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that the date of induction listed in block 12 of his DD Form 214 is 1 day after the date of his separation.   

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he was inducted into the Army of the United States on 6 September 1966 for 2 years.  He served on active duty until he was honorably separated on 5 September 1968, after having served for 
2 years.  

5.  The DD Form 214 incorrectly lists the applicant’s separation date as 
6 September 1968, which is, in fact, the day after he was released from active duty.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concluded that the induction date listed in block 12 of the applicant’s DD Form 214 was incorrect and obviously the result of an administrative error.  Therefore, the Board determined it would be appropriate to correct this error at this time.

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 showing the induction date of the individual concerned as 6 September 1966.

That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.
