	BOARD DATE:            4 May 2000        
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999033130

	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. Luther L. Santiful		Chairperson	
	Mr. James P. Stueve		Member	
	Ms. Carol Jo Suiter		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 8 of his DD Form 4/1 should reflect 4 and not 3 years.

3.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the U.S. Army on 
23 September 1999 for a period of 4 years.  However, item 8 of the DD Form 4/1 reflects an incorrect term of service of 3 years.  His 4 year enlistment is confirmed on all of his other enlistment documents.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows that the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army for a period of 4 years vice 3 years and item 8 of his DD Form 4/1 should be corrected accordingly.

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 in item 8 of the individual’s DD Form 4/1 that he enlisted for a period of 4 vice 3 years.
