APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his date of entry be corrected on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) with a separation date of 22 September 1982.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that his DD Form 214 with a separation date of 22 September 1982 shows the incorrect date of entry. He contends that he entered active duty in June 1977, not on 28 February 1979. In support of his application, he submits a copy of his DD Form 214 with a separation date of
22 September 1982; an excerpt from his DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record); and VA documentation.
COUNSEL CONTENDS: The Disabled American Veterans, as counsel for the applicant, support the applicant’s request for the correction of an earlier enlistment date. Counsel points out that the applicant enlisted in the United States Army Reserve (USAR) on 3 December 1976 and entered active duty on
1 July 1977.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
The applicant enlisted in the USAR on 3 December 1976 and entered active duty on 1 July 1977. He served as an infantryman and was honorably discharged on 27 February 1979 for immediate reenlistment. The applicant reenlisted on
28 February 1979, served as an infantryman and was honorably discharged on 22 September 1982 under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5-12, for short length of time remaining on active duty precludes reassignment.
The applicant’s military records show that he was issued a DD Form 214 at the time of his release from active duty on 27 February 1979 which covers his period of service from 1 July 1977 to 27 February 1979. This DD Form 214 also shows that he served 6 months and 29 days of prior inactive service in the USAR.
The applicant’s military records also show that he was issued a DD Form 214 at the time of his release from active duty on 22 September 1982.
Army Regulation 635-5 governs the preparation of the DD Form 214. It states, in pertinent part, that a DD Form 214 will not be prepared to cover a period of service for which a previous DD Form 214 has been issued.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. The applicant’s contention that his DD Form 214 with a separation date of
22 September 1982 shows the incorrect date of entry is not supported by the evidence of record.
2. Evidence of record shows the applicant served on active duty from 1 July 1977 to 27 February 1979 and was properly issued a DD Form 214 covering this period of active duty.
3. Evidence of record also shows that the applicant served on active duty from 28 February 1979 to 22 September 1982 and was properly issued a DD Form 214 covering this period of active duty. Therefore, the applicant’s date of entry on his DD Form 214 with a separation date of 22 September 1982 is correct as currently constituted.
4. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
5. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

His DD Form 214 properly reflects his service during this period and also reflects his prior active service from 4 August 1974 to 14 June 1977. He was issued a DD Form 214 on 14 June 1977 that reflects his service from 6 August 1974 to 1977 and his DD Form 214 issued on 15 June 1977 correctly reflects his prior active service. The applicant has failed to show through the evidence submitted or the evidence of record that he was issued the wrong RE codes at the time of his separation.
