	BOARD DATE:            28 July 1999                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999015204

	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. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Lee Cates		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Fred N. Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Ms. Lana E. McGlynn		Member	
	Ms. Margaret V. Thompson		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: In effect, that he served on active duty for 2 years.

APPLICANT STATES: That his obligation was for 6 years, 2 years active duty and a 4 year reserve obligation.  He contends he should have been separated on 2 June 1962.

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

On 3 June 1960, the applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States.  He completed his required training and was awarded military occupational specialty 35 (X-Ray Specialist).  He was advanced to pay grade E-4 effective      9 January 1962.

On 1 June 1962, he was honorably separated based on the completion of his term of service and transferred to the Army Reserve the following day.  His Report of Separation indicates he had 1 year, 11 months and 29 days of creditable service.  The terminal date of his reserve obligation was shown as      2 June 1966.

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.  The applicant’s assumption that he should have been separated of 2 June 1962 is correct; however, the evidence of record clearly shows he was separated from active duty on 1 June 1962.

2.  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 the aforementioned requirement.

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.
