PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           29 March 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999027574

	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.  

	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Robert G. Hinkle		Chairperson	
	Mr. Mark D. Manning		Member	
	Mr. James P. Steuve		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 DD Form 214, Report of Separation be corrected to show that she did not have any lost time.

3.  The applicant states that to the best of her knowledge she was never absent without leave (AWOL) or had any Article 15s.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Regular Army on          15 January 1991.  On 23 September 1998, she was recommended for separation under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5-8, inability to perform prescribed duties due to parenthood.  The evidence in her personnel records and in her separation packet shows she had no record of disciplinary actions and no lost time.  The Defense Finance and Accounting Service confirmed that they have no record of lost time on her.

5.  On 16 October 1998, the applicant was discharged with an honorable characterization of service.  Her DD Form 214, item 12c shows she completed 7 years,  8 months and 23 days of active service.  Item 29 shows she had 9 days of lost time.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows the applicant did not have any lost time during her period of service and the entry of lost time in item 29 of her DD From 214, with the subsequent adjustment of her active service in item 12c, is erroneous.

2.  In view of the foregoing, it would be in the interest of justice to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by issuing to the applicant a new DD Form 214 with the correct entry of “0007 09 02” in item 12c and “NONE” in item 29.
