2. The applicant requests that his enlistment contract, DD Forms 4/1, 4/2, and 4/3 and his Montgomery GI Bill Act of 1984 form, DA Form 2366, be corrected to show he enlisted for 4 years and 00 weeks.
3. The applicant states that his enlistment contract shows he enlisted for 3 years and 00 weeks but he extended for 1 year upon arrival at Fort Leonard Wood, MO to qualify for a seasonal bonus of $3,000.
4. The applicant enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve Delayed Entry Program on 12 January 1999. His DD Form 4/1 indicates he was to enlist in the Regular Army by 28 January 1999 for not less than 3 years. His DD Form 4/2, dated 12 January 1999, does not indicate any period of enlistment. His DA Form 2366 dated 12 January 1999 shows his service unique education assistance options as “12B1, 3 yrs, 00 wks.” His DD Form 4/3 shows he enlisted in the Regular Army on 28 January 1999 for 3 years. His Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States, DD Form 1966/3, was annotated on 4 February 1999 that he would extend his enlistment for 1 year to qualify for a seasonal bonus. His Statement of Understanding, United States Army Incentive Enlistment Program, DA Form 3286-66 and his Statement for Enlistment, United States Army Training Enlistment Program, DA Form 3286-63, were amended to show he enlisted for 4 years and 00 weeks for a $3,000 cash bonus.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. There is no error on the applicant’s DD Form 4/1. It indicates he would enlist in the Regular Army for not less than 3 years, which he has done. There is no place on the DD Form 4/2 which indicates the length of the applicant’s enlistment period.
2. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 28 January 1999 for 3 years but his enlistment options were amended on 4 February 1999, requiring him to have enlisted for 4 years. That action required that his DD Form 4/3 be amended to show he enlisted for 4 years.
3. The applicant’s DA Form 2336 indicates he enlisted for 3 years. In the interest of consistency, that document should also be amended to show he enlisted for 4 years.
4. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the applicant’s DA Form 2366 dated 12 January 1999, service unique education assistance options be corrected to read “12B1, 4 yrs, 00 wks” and his DD Form 4/3 dated 28 January 1999, item 20a be corrected to show he enlisted for 4 years and 00 weeks.
2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.
