APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his military records be corrected to show his date of entry into active duty as 19 October 1989.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that he actually entered active duty on
19 October 1989, but his records incorrectly show 19 October 1990. He contends that there was an administrative error made on his Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) at the time of his separation. In support of his application, he provides a copy of his DD Form 214.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted in the United States Army Reserve on 10 October 1990 for 8 years. On 19 October 1990, he requested release from the Army Reserve and enlisted in the Regular Army for 4 years and 17 weeks. He completed his initial training and was assigned for duty as a combat engineer (12B). In 1991 he completed basic airborne training and was subsequently promoted to the rank of specialist, E-4 on 19 December 1992. On 26 August 1994, the applicant reenlisted for an additional 3 years.
On 20 July 1995, the applicant’s commander recommended that he be barred to reenlistment due to his failure to maintain his weight and body fat within the Army standard. The appropriate authority approved the recommendation.
On 21 March 1996, the applicant requested immediate separation from the Army due to his failure to overcome the locally imposed bar to reenlistment. The appropriate authority approved his request on 28 March 1996, directing that he be issued an Honorable Discharge Certificate and transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve for completion of his statutory service obligation.
Accordingly, on 18 May 1996, the applicant was separated. He completed
5 years and 7 months of creditable active service and had no lost time.
The applicant’s DD Form 214 shows that he enlisted in the Regular Army on
19 October 1990 and served continually until his honorable release from active duty on 18 May 1996.
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 he entered the Army on 19 October 1989 is not supported by any evidence of record. He has not provided any evidence showing that he performed any active duty service prior to 19 October 1990.
2. 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.
