2. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of her date of reenlistment in the Army Reserve (USAR) and award of the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP).
3. The applicant states that she reenlisted in the USAR on 7 November 1998 vice 6 November 1998. She indicates that through an administrative error, her reenlistment contract had the dates of 6 and 7 November 1998; therefore, she has been denied the SLRP for which she reenlisted.
4. The applicant’s military records show that on 26 October 1992, she enlisted in the USAR for 8 years in pay grade E-3. During the period 5 March to 9 July 1993, she completed 4 months and 5 days of active duty for training. She completed her required training and was awarded military occupational specialty 73C (Accounting Specialist).
5. On 7 November 1998, she reenlisted for 6 years, in pay grade E-5, for the SLRP. At this time, she had completed 6 years and 10 days of total service, which ended on 6 November 1998, the day preceeding her reenlistment.
6. On 1 November 2000, officials at the SLRP headquarters, Fort McCoy, Wisconsin advised the applicant’s commander that the reenlistment document was incorrect but would be honored upon correction of the conflicting dates.
7. On 31 January 2001, officials at the SLRP headquarters advised the applicant’s commander that the correction of the reenlistment document would have to be made by this Board.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record shows the applicant completed a total of 6 years and 10 days of combined active and inactive service on 6 November 1998 and reenlisted the following day, 7 November 1998.
2. The applicant’s reenlistment document erroneously shows a mechanical date of reenlistment as “19981106” while the handwritten date by the applicant and the Retention NCO is “7 November 1998”. Her records should be corrected accordingly.
3. The applicant’s SLRP was properly denied based on conflicting dates on the reenlistment document, however, correction of the reenlistment date will alleviate this problem.
4. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing the individual concerned was reenlisted on 7 November 1998.

In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice. The applicant requests...

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT REQUESTS: That her records be corrected to show that she was eligible for the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). While it is unfortunate she was led to believe she qualified for the SLRP, to grant the applicant’s request would be giving her a benefit not available to other reservists with non-qualifying MOS’s who were properly not given a SLRP addendum...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2005 | 20050006239C070206
The preponderance of evidence and the advisory opinion shows the applicant enlisted for the postal operations MOS of 71LF5, which was authorized the SLRP in the amount of $20,000, and not for training as a parachutist (MOS 71LP). In the event the applicant has paid her loans as a result of the error in her enlistment contract, her military records may also be corrected to show her DA Form 5261-4-R was amended to include the sentence, “If a student loan is accepted by the officials...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001061865C070421
APPLICANT REQUESTS: That he be awarded a $5,000 enlistment bonus in connection with his enlistment in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 19 November 1999 and that he be authorized $20,000 for the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) instead of $10,000. Records show that the applicant completed a DA Form 5261-5-R (Selected Reserve Incentive Program-USAR Prior Service Enlistment Bonus Addendum) at the time of his enlistment. On the date of his discharge, his entitlement to the SLRP was terminated.

The applicant requests that her records be corrected to show her component as Regular Army. Orders dated 5 June 1995 tendered her an appointment in the Regular Army and ordered her to active duty on the date she should execute the oath of office. The applicant’s Officer Record Brief (ORB) dated 16 October 1995 erroneously shows her component as U. S. Army Reserve (USAR).

In effect, the applicant requests that her records be corrected to show that she was entitled to the $10,000.00 loan repayment incentive as depicted in her 24 November 1992 reenlistment contract. Notwithstanding the fact that her MOS was ineligible for the SLRP incentive, the applicant reenlisted in the Army for 6 years and contracted to serve in MOS 94B with the understanding that she was entitled to a maximum of $10,000.00 in loan repayments. Therefore, and notwithstanding the advisory...

She was given an SPD of MBK (To be used for RA soldiers eligible to reenlist or with a Declination of Continued Service Statement in force who are Released from active duty on completion of enlistment and transferred to the Reserve components to complete military obligation) and assigned RE-3. The evidence of record indicates that the applicant was honorably released from active duty and given SPD of MBK. It is the opinion of this Board, that the applicant's DD Form 214 was erroneously...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2003 | 2003089787C070403
The applicant states, in effect, that she enlisted in the United States Army Reserve (USAR) on 16 November 1987 for a period of 8 years under the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). A review of the applicant's records shows no indication that the applicant was ever notified that she was being transferred to the IRR due to unsatisfactory participation. Therefore, the Board finds that it would be in the interest of justice to correct her records to show that as an exception to policy, she...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2004 | 20040008110C070208
The applicant requests repayment of her student loans under the Student Loan Repayment Plan (SLRP) and payment of her enlistment bonus per her enlistment contract. The applicant states that after she enlisted, her bonus unit of assignment was deactivated and Soldiers were reassigned. Section III of the applicant's DA Form 5261-4-R (Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum) shows she contracted for assignment to the 8th Legal Support Organization, Team 3, Wichita, KS to serve in MOS 71D...
