3. The applicant enlisted in the Army Reserve on 22 April 1997. His DD Form 4/1, dated 22 April 1997 indicates that he was enlisting in the Regular Army for 4 years. His DD Form 4/3, dated 12 August 1997, indicated that he enlisted in the Regular Army for 4 years. Additional documents signed by the applicant and the enlistment counselor all 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 and 4/3 incorrectly shows enlistment for 4 years. All related documents correctly show enlistment for 5 years. PERSCOM recommended approval of the applicants request.
