PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           29 November 2001                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2001064929

	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	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. John P. Infante		Member	
	Mr. William D. Powers		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 enlistment contract be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-1.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that he was approved to enlist in pay grade    E-1, not pay grade E-3.

4.  On 5 September 2001, the U. S. Total Army Personnel Command made a grade determination approving the applicant’s enlistment in the Regular Army in pay grade E-1.  His enlistment contract, DD Form 4/1, erroneously shows that  he enlisted in the Regular Army on 31 October 2001 in pay grade E-3.  On          1 November 2001, he waived his enlistment commitment of pay grade E-3 and accepted pay grade E-1.  

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is an administrative error on the applicant’s DD Form 4/1.  The evidence of record shows he was approved to enlist in the Regular Army in pay grade E-1, not pay grade E-3.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 dated 31 October 2001 be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-1.
