2. The applicant requests that his 1998 USAR (U.S. Army Reserve) enlistment contract be corrected to reflect an 8-year enlistment period vice 6 years. He states that at the time of his enlistment the statutory enlistment period for non-prior service soldiers was 8 years. In support of his request he submits copies on his enlistment contract and copies of documents from his chain of command supporting his request.
3. Records available to the Board indicate the applicant, who had no prior military service, enlisted in the USAR on 12 September 1998. Item 8 on his DD Form 4/1 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document) indicates he was enlisting for a period of 6 years. However, his DD Form 1966/1 (Record of Military Processing-Armed Forces of the United States) notes the term of his enlistment was 8 years.
4. He attempted to rectify the situation via his chain of command but was told he must apply to this Board to have the error corrected.
5. Public Law 98-94 outlines the statutory service obligations incurred by individuals who enlist in any component of the U.S. military. Effective 1 June 1984, all personnel incur an 8-year statutory obligation on initial entry into the Armed Forces. Before 1 June 1984, all personnel incurred a 6-year statutory obligation on initial entry.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record shows that his enlistment document should show that he enlisted in the USAR for a period of 8 years vice 6 years.
2. In view of the foregoing, his 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 applicant’s term of enlistment in item 8 on his 1998 DD Form 4/1 as 8 years vice 6 years.
