	BOARD DATE:           15 March 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999030960

	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. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Ms. Margaret K. Patterson		Member	
	Mr. Van B. Cunningham		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 show his date of separation as 1 August 1962.

3.  The applicant states that he was recalled to active duty on 22 October 1961 so he could not have been separated on 1 August 1961.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that after having had prior active duty in the Army of the United States from April 1958 – April 1960, he was transferred to the U. S. Army Reserve.  On 22 October 1961, he was ordered to active duty.  He was released from active duty on 1 August 1962 as verified by his Installation Clearance Record and his release from active duty orders.  His DD Form 214 shows he was released from active duty on 1 August 1961.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concludes that there is a typographical error on the applicant’s       DD Form 214.  The evidence of record shows that he was released from active duty on 1 August 1962, not 1 August 1961.

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, for the period beginning 22 October 1961, item 11d to read “1 Aug 62.”
