MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           1 August 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999032568

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Robert J. McGowan		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Deborah S. Jacobs 		Chairperson	
	Ms. Karol A. Kennedy 		Member	
	Mr. Ernest W. Lutz Jr. 		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, be corrected to show 6 years and 11 months of net active service.

APPLICANT STATES:  That her DD Form 214 is incorrect.  In support, she provides a copy of her DD Form 214.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

She enlisted in the US Army Reserve and the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) on 11 September 1978.  After 1 month and 21 days, she enlisted in the Regular Army for 3 years on 2 November 1978.  She reenlisted for 3 years on 21 October 1981.  On 12 April 1984, she extended her enlistment to 20 May 1987.

The applicant was honorably discharged on 8 February 1985.  Her DD Form 214 correctly reflects 6 years, 3 months, and 7 days of net active service in Block 12c and 1 month and 21 days of prior inactive service [her time in the DEP] in Block 12e.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.

2.  The applicant's DD Form 214 correctly reflects all of her service.

3.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

BOARD VOTE:
