PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF: 

	BOARD DATE:           26 September 2000     
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999033123

	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	
	Ms. Deborah L. Brantley		Senior Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Arthur A. Omartian		Chairperson	
	Mr. Melvin H. Meyer		Member	
	Mr. Thomas F. Baxter		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 records be corrected to show that he enlisted for a period of 4 years.  He states that his term of enlistment in item 20a of his DD Form 4/3 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States) should reflect 4 and not 3 years.

3.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the U.S. Army on 
10 August 1999 for a period of 4 years.  However, item 20a of the DD Form 4/3 reflects an incorrect term of service of 3 years.  His term of service is correctly reflected in all of his other enlistment documents.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows that item 20a on the applicant’s DD Form 4/3 should show that he enlisted in the Regular Army for a period of 4 years vice 
3 years.

2.  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 showing the applicant’s term of enlistment on his DD Form 4/3, item 20a, as 
4 years.
