PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:  30 March 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999033152

	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:

	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		Chairperson	
	Mr. Ernest W. Lutz		Member	
	Mr. Herbert O. Fry		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 her records be corrected to show that she enlisted for 3 years active duty not 8 years.

3.  The applicant states that block 20A. of her DD Form 4/3 (enlistment document) shows that she enlisted in the Regular Army for 8 years and it should show 3 years.

4.  The applicant’s military records show (DD Form 4/1) that on 3 June 1999 she enlisted in the USAR for the required 8 years and, through the delayed entry program (DEP) was scheduled to report for 3 years active duty in the Regular Army on 7 July 1999.  On 7 July 1999 she took the oath of enlistment in the Regular Army and was discharged from the DEP.  Block 20A of her DD Form 4/3 shows that she enlisted in the Regular Army for 8 years.

5.  The applicant’s DD Form 1966/3 (record of processing) shows in block 32a. that she was enlisting for 3 years in the Army training enlistment program.  Block 1d. of her DA Form 3286-59 (statement for enlistment) also states that she was enlisting in the Regular Army for 3 years as does block 1g. of the DA Form 
3286-63.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Based on the evidence of record it is clear that an error occurred in the preparation of block 20A of her DD Form 4/3 which shows that she enlisted in the Regular Army for 8 years instead of 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 for the individual concerned by showing that she enlisted in the Regular Army for 3 years by changing block 20A of her DD Form 4/3.
