MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:       

	BOARD DATE:            9 March 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999030385

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

	Ms. Deyon D. Battle		Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. June Hajjar		Chairperson	
	Mr. Thomas D. Howard, Jr.		Member	
	Ms. Carol Jo Suiter		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
            records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  In effect, that his Certificate of Release or Discharge (DD Form 214) be corrected to show that he was released from active duty in June 1983 instead of March 1983 as currently reflected.

APPLICANT STATES:  In effect, that the date he was released from active duty is incorrect as currently reflected.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

On 15 September 1982, he enlisted in the Army National Guard (ARNG) for 6 years in the pay grade of E-1.

On 12 October 1982, he was ordered to active duty for training effective 21 November 1982 and he successfully completed his training as a radio operator.

His Personnel Qualification Record and his DD Form 214 show that he was honorably released from active duty on 26 March 1983 and was returned to his assigned ARNG unit in Pennsylvania to complete his 6-year obligation.  He also signed and initialed the DD Form 214 at the time of separation.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  The actions by the Army in this case were proper, and there is no doubt to be resolved in favor of the applicant.

2.  The evidence of record clearly shows that the applicant was ordered to active duty for training effective 21 November 1982.  He remained on active duty until he was honorably released from active duty and was returned to his ARNG unit on 26 March 1983.  His DD Form 214 appropriately reflects his date of release from active duty.  There is no evidence of record to substantiate his contention that he remained on active until June 1983.

3. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirement.

4.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
