2. The applicant requests, in effect, that his pay entry basic date (PEBD) be adjusted due to his membership in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP).
3. The applicants military records show he was born on 2 August 1953. On 14 June 1971, he enlisted in the Regular Air Force and was discharged on 29 October 1979. On 10 January 1980, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (ROTC). On 21 January 1980, he enlisted in the Louisiana Army National Guard under the Simultaneous Membership Program. On 14 May 1982, he was ordered to active duty as a second lieutenant.
