PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:      

	BOARD DATE:            11 May 2000                 
	DOCKET NUMBER:    AR1999031085

	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. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. W. E. Schnupp		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Raymond V. O'Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. James M. Alward		Member	
	Mr. Christopher J. Prosser		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 the date she entered Active Duty (AD) be corrected to show 2 February 1991 rather than 3 May 1991.

3.  The applicant states that her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, shows that she entered AD on 3 May 1991, which is incorrect.  Her leave and earnings statement shows the beginning date for her AD pay was 26 February 1991.

4.  In support of her request, she has provided a copy of her DD Form 214 showing in block 12a (date entered active duty this period) that she entered AD on 3 May 1991, and a copy of her leave and earnings statement indicating that the period for the pay computation was from 26 February 1991.

5.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Texas National Guard on 1 February 1991.  DD Form 1966/3 of her Enlistment Contract indicates she was ordered to AD on 26 February 1991.  She was honorably discharged from AD by reason of Physical Disability without Severance Pay on 3 February 1992 in pay grade E-2 with 9 months and 1 day active service.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The available evidence in this case shows that the current date in block 12a of her DD Form 214 – 3 May 1991 - is incorrect.  Her enlistment contract substantiates that her entry date should have been 26 February 1991.

2.  Correction of the entry date will also necessitate a change in block 12c (net active service this period) to reflect 00 years, 11 months and 8 days as opposed to the 00 years, 9 months and 1 day presently shown there. 

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:

	a.  changing the date in block 12a of DD Form 214 of the individual concerned to read 26 February 1991; and

	b.  changing the entry in block 12c of DD Form 214 to read 00 years,        11 months and 8 days.
