2.  The applicant requests that his reenlistment contract dated 15 May 1991 be voided.

3.  The applicant states that he had signed a reenlistment contract on the proper date, but that contract was misplaced, forcing him to sign a second reenlistment contract, one which gives him a break in service.  Since signing the second contract, his first reenlistment contract was located, necessitating his second contract be voided.

5.  His records also contain a reenlistment contract, also for 3 years in pay grade E-7, dated 15 May 1991.

6.  On the date he submitted his request, the applicant was serving on active duty in the AGR program in pay grade E-7.

7.  Army Regulation 135-178, paragraph 9-7, erroneous enlistment, states that when it is established that an enlistment is erroneous because the reservist is already serving on an existing enlistment contract, the reservist will be discharged from the latter, erroneous, enlistment contract and held to the prior, unterminated enlistment contract.

1.  The applicant properly reenlisted on 8 May 1991, making his 15 May 1991 reenlistment erroneous.
