2. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of her military records to show that she enlisted for a term of 5 years.

3. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 1 August 1997. The DD Form 4/1 shows that she enlisted for 8 years. Additional documents signed by the applicant and the enlistment counselor indicate enlistment for 5 years.

4. In an advisory opinion to the Board, the Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) advised that the DD Form 4/1 incorrectly shows enlistment for 8 years. PERSCOM recommended approval of the applicant’s request to show that she enlisted for 5 years.

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