CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record clearly shows that the applicant enlisted on "6 December 1966" instead of "6 December 1972." Therefore, he is entitled to correction of item 17c of his DD Form 214 to show the entry "6 DEC 66" instead of the entry "6 DEC 72."
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case for the individual concerned be corrected by showing in item 17a (Date of Entry) of his DD Form 214 the entry "6 DEC 66."
2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.
