	BOARD DATE:           5 April 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999030392

	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. Kenneth H. Aucock		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. Stanley Kelley		Member	
	Mr. Lester Echols		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 that her 21 June 1997 DD Form 214 be corrected to show that she entered on active duty on 20 June 1996, instead of the 11 June 1977 date shown. 

3.  The applicant states that the 11 June 1977 date entered in item 12a (Date Entered AD this period) is her birth date and not her enlistment date.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that her DD Form 4 series (Enlistment Document) shows her date of birth as 11 June 1977, and also shows that she enlisted in the Army for 4 years on 20 June 1996.  An order was published on        20 June 1996 by the Military Entrance Processing Station at Phoenix, Arizona, assigning her to a unit at Fort Jackson with a reporting date of 20 June 1996. 

5.  The applicant was released from active duty on 21 June 1997.  She had            1 year and 2 days of service.  Her DD Form 214 shows that she entered on active duty on 11 June 1977. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The DD Form 214 showing that she entered on active duty on 11 June 1977     is obviously incorrect.  She entered on active duty on 20 June 1996.  Her               DD Form 214 should be changed accordingly.

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 that the applicant entered on active duty on 20 June 1996.
