2. The applicant requests that Section B, Block 8 of his DD Form 4/1 be changed to read 8 years and 00 weeks.
3. The applicant states Section B, Block 8 should be 8 years and 00 weeks, not 6 years and 00 weeks.
4. The applicant’s Enlistment/Reenlistment Document (DD Form 4/1) shows, in Section B, Block 8, that he enlisted for a term of service of 6 years and 00 weeks. He contends, and recruiting personnel agree, that he should have been enlisted for 8 years and 00 weeks.
5. A memorandum, Subject: Correction of Enlistment Term, prepared by the Headquarters US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) Liaison on 6 August 2001, authenticated that the term of enlistment for which the applicant was enlisted on 15 March 2001, was incorrectly stated as 6 years and 00 weeks instead of 8 years and 00 weeks.
6. Army Regulation 601-210, Regular Army and Army Reserve Enlistment Program, paragraph 8-6, provides in pertinent part that the Commanding General (CG), US Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM), may determine that an error has been made in the term of enlistment shown on the DD Form 4-series. (For example, term of enlistment may be other than that intended by both the member and the Army. The DD Form 4-series will not be amended by “pen and ink” correction. Instead, a memorandum will be added to the member’s file giving the correct term.) The soldier will be assisted in preparing a DD Form 149, which will be attached to the documents cited above. The soldier’s application will be forwarded to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records for final action.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record establishes that the applicant was enlisted on 15 March 2001, for a term of service other than intended by both he and the Army. He believed that he was enlisting for a period of 8 years and 00 weeks but an error on the contract reflects he was enlisted for 6 years and 00 weeks.
2. Inasmuch as both the Army and the applicant agree that the term of service should be for 8 years and 00 weeks, it would be appropriate to correct the term of service reflected on the contract.
3. 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 that the individual concerned enlisted on 15 March 2001 for a term of 8 years and 00 weeks.
