  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Shirley L. Powell		Chairperson	
	Mr. Allen L. Raub		Member	
	Mr. Thomas E. O'Shaughnessy, Jr.		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 her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, be corrected to show that she is a high school graduate.

3.  The applicant states that Block 15b of her DD Form 214 should reflect that she is a high school graduate.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Regular Army for 4 years on 17 November 1999.  Her enlistment paperwork (specifically, her DD Form 1966/2, Record of Military Processing) shows that she graduated from Smyrna (Tennessee) High School in May 1999.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant's enlistment paperwork clearly shows that she graduated from high school in May 1999.

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 issuing to the individual concerned a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, showing in Block 15b "YES" for high school graduate or equivalent.
