	BOARD DATE:  31 May 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999032357

	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. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. James E. Vick		Chairperson	
	Mr. John P. Infante		Member	
	Mr. Stanley Kelley		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 he be allowed to retire from active duty on 1 April 2000.

3.  The applicant states that his request to retire was disapproved because he incurred an additional Active Duty Service Obligation (ADSO) by attending an aircraft qualification.  The AR 350-100 requires the officer to be notified in writing about the ADSO prior to attending the course and that was not done.  He had no prior knowledge that he would incur an additional ADSO by attending the course.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he was on active duty in grade CW4 assigned to the Operational Support Airlift Agency.  He was scheduled for and attended an aircraft qualification course from 7 February to 6 March 1999.

5.  In approximately June 1999 the applicant requested voluntary retirement effective 1 April 2000, 3 months after completing training.  The Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) disapproved his request on 6 August 1999.  The PERSCOM noted that, as a result of his attendance at the aircraft qualification course, his ADSO had been adjusted to 19 February 2002.
