	BOARD DATE:            13 April 2000                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:    AR1999030935

	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. W. E. Schnupp		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Ms. Celia L. Adolphi		Member	
	Ms. Sherri V. Ward		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 his DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect his actual date of entry on active duty.

3.  The applicant states that block 19c (date of entry) of his DD Form 214 reads 27 September 1964 but should read 26 September 1961.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army for 3 years on 27 September 1961 and was honorably released from active duty to the USAR on 26 September 1964 at the completion of his active service commitment.

5.  The applicant’s DD Form 4, Enlistment Record, and Special Orders Number 203, dated 27 September 1961, both show that he was enlisted for three years commencing 27 September 1961.

6.  Special Orders Number 197, dated 23 September 1964, shows that that the applicant was released from active duty to the USAR effective 26 September 1964.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record show that the applicant’s date of entry on                 DD Form 214 is obviously in error.

2.  He entered active service on 27 September 1961 and was released on          26 September 1964 upon completion of his 3 year commitment.  These are the dates that should be reflected on his DD Form 214.

3.  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 individual concerned entered active duty on 27 September 1961.
