THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:

17.  Subsequent to approval of the proceedings in this case, it was determined that the applicant’s records should also be corrected to account for the nonrated time from the date of his last NCOER, while on active duty, to the date the Board returned him to active duty (April 1996 through September 1998).

18.  Army Regulation 15-185, Army Board for Correction of Military Records, paragraph 21e, provides, that the application for correction of military record, supporting documents, proceedings of the Board and decision of the Secretary of the Army will be filed in the permanent military record of the subject of the application except that where such action would nullify the relief granted, the application, etc., will be retained in the files of the Correction Board.

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES:

6.  At the time of the Board’s original decision in this case, it was the intent of the Board to make the applicant’s record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time.

7.  Therefore, it would be appropriate that an adequate explanation be placed in the applicant’s OMPF concerning the gap in his NCOER’s from the date of his last report until the date of his return to an active duty status.  Such explanation is necessary to show that the nonrated time in his file was not his fault which would ensure that he will not be prejudiced because of it in any future personnel actions.

8.  In order to preclude any future prejudicial actions as a result of the corrections directed herein, all documents relating to this case should be returned to this Board for permanent filing.

9.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings, dated 22 July 1998, to show:

	a.  that a nonprejudicial explanation will be placed in the OMPF of the individual concerned to show that any gap in his NCOER’s from the date of his last report on active duty to the date of his return to an active duty status was not through any fault of his own; and
	b.  that in accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, paragraph 21e, following completion of the administrative corrections directed by this Board, the proceedings and all other documents related to this case will be returned to this Board for permanent filing.
