	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 show his correct date of entry on active duty.

3.  The applicant states that he entered active duty in 1986, not 1989.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 11 September 1986 and was released from active duty upon completing his normal expiration term of service on 10 September 1989.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows that there is a typographical error in item 12a of the applicant’s DD Form 214.

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 amending the applicant’s DD Form 214, item 12a to read 86 09 11.
