	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

                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, in effect, that his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) issued on 9 August 1961, be corrected to show that he was on active duty for training ADT from 27 June
1957-24 August 1957. 

3.  The applicant states that he submits US Air Force pay records in support of his request.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Massachusetts, Air Force National Guard (AFNG) ON 26 March 1956.  He was ordered to active duty for training to attend the US Air Force Basic Military Training Course from 
22 June-24 August 1957.  On 17 June 1958, he was discharged from the AFNG. 
He had accrued 2 years and 19 days of creditable inactive military service and, he had 2 months and 3 days of active military service for a total of 2 years, 
2 months and 2 days AFNG service.

5.  On 29 August 1958, he enlisted in the Regular Army (RA) for 3 years.  
On 9 August 1961, he was honorably discharged under the provisions of 
chapter 7, Army Regulation 635-205 at the completion of his active service obligation.  He had accrued 2 years, 11 months, and 11 days of creditable active military service during this period of service.

6.  The applicant's DD Form 214 issued on 9 August 1961, item 24a(1) shows his net service this period as 2 years, 2 months, and 11 days.  Item 24a(2) shows his other service as 2 years, 4 months and 27 days.  Item 24a(3) shows his total service as 5 years, 4 months, and 8 days and item 24b shows his total active service as 2 years, 11 months and 11 days. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1. The Board determined that the applicant's AFNG service from 27 June -
24 August 1957 should be computed as active military service on his DD Form 214 issued by the Army on 9 August 1961.  However, this is already included in the AFNG computation.

2.  Therefore, his DD Form 214 issued on 9 August 1961, item 24a(2) should be corrected to show 2 years, 2 months, and 22 days of other service.  Correct item 24a(3) by deleting 5 years, 4 months, and 8 days and adding the entry 5 years, 
2 month and 3 days.  Correct item 24b by adding 2 months and 3 days, to show a total of 3 years, 1 month, and14 days.

3.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by issuing to the individual concerned a DD Form 215 (Correction to DD Form 2l4) which shows that the DD Form 2l4 issued to him on 9 August 
1961 is corrected to show:

a.  that in item 24a(2) his other service equals 2-2-22; 

	b.  that in item 24a(3) his total service equals 5-2-3; and

c.  that item 24b should show his active service equals 3-1-14.

2.  That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied
