2. The applicant requests that his DD Form 4/1 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document) be corrected to show he enlisted on 13 February 2001.
3. The applicant states he enlisted in the US Army Reserve on 13 February 2001, however the computer print out as well as other enlistment documents show he enlisted on 13 February 2000.
4. The applicant’s military records show that on 16 September 1992 he enlisted in the Regular Army for a period of 6 years. On 2 March 2001, he was separated from active duty under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 4, for completion of required active service.
5. The applicant’s current enlistment contract indicates he enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve on 13 February 2000 for a period of 6 years. Other addendums and documents associated with his enlistment contract also show they were signed on 13 February 2000, these include the applicant’s DA Form 5261-4 (Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum), the DA Form 5261-5 (Selected Reserve Incentive Program-USAR Prior Service Enlistment Bonus Addendum) and the DA Form 5691 (Request for Reserve Component Assignment Orders).
6. In a memorandum dated 14 February 2002, the counselor who prepared the applicant’s enlistment documents acknowledges there was an error (typographical) concerning the applicant’s enlistment date, that his documents should be corrected to read 13 February 2001. The counselor also states that several attempts had been made through the applicant’s chain of command to correct this error.
7. In a memorandum to this Board, dated 14 March 2002, the applicant’s Command Retention Officer requested that the applicant’s DD Form 4 series and all-inclusive attachments and agreements be corrected by showing his enlistment date as 13 February 2001.
8. Army Regulation 140-111, chapter 5, paragraph 5-10, provides that the authority to correct typographical errors on enlistment documents is delegated to the immediate commander, however, a correction to an individuals effective date of reenlistment or term of service is prohibited and requires submission to this Board for resolution.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence shows that the incorrect enlistment date of 13 February 2000, was erroneously placed on the applicant’s DD Form 4/1 and DA Form 4/2 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document), and should be corrected to read
13 February 2001.
2. Other addendums and documents associated with his enlistment contract should be corrected to show the date of 13 February 2001, these include the applicant’s DA Form 5261-4 (Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum), the DA Form 5261-5 (Selected Reserve Incentive Program-USAR Prior Service Enlistment Bonus Addendum) and the DA Form 5691 (Request for Reserve Component Assignment Orders).
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:
a. by changing the applicant’s DA Form 4/1 and 4/2, to show his correct enlistment date of 20010213, and
b. by changing the applicant’s DA Form 5261-4, DA Form 5261-5, and his DA Form 5691 to show these documents were signed on 20010213.

The applicant requests, in effect, that her reenlistment documents be corrected to show she enlisted in the Army Reserve on 4 May 2000 vice 4 March 2000. Paragraph 11-8 states that the effective date of a reserve component enlistment is the day after discharge from the Regular Army.

The applicant states that she initiated a SLRP contract for $20,000.00 as indicated in the DA Form 5261-4-R (Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum) she includes with her application. In a 30 May 2001 memorandum the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) Office at Fort McCoy stated that although the applicant’s DA Form 5261-4-R was executed with an entitlement of $20,000, she was only eligible for a $10,000 entitlement and payments would be made for that entitlement. The applicant...

The applicant requests that his records be corrected to show he completed a Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum, DA Form 5261-4-R. In the event the applicant’s eligible student loans are no longer eligible to be paid off per regulation and law, i. e., if he has since paid off his student loans, it would be appropriate to amend the DA Form 5261-4-R, section V to include the sentence “If a student loan is accepted by the officials processing you for reenlistment as payable under the SLRP...

The preponderance of evidence and the advisory opinion shows the applicant enlisted for the postal operations MOS of 71LF5, which was authorized the SLRP in the amount of $20,000, and not for training as a parachutist (MOS 71LP). In the event the applicant has paid her loans as a result of the error in her enlistment contract, her military records may also be corrected to show her DA Form 5261-4-R was amended to include the sentence, “If a student loan is accepted by the officials...

The applicant states that her [enlistment] contract indicates that all her college loans would be repaid, including her Gate and signature loans; however, this was not the case. • A copy of her 15 November 2002 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), and a copy of reassignment orders directing her discharge on that date because of her physical disability. • Copy of a Gate student loan application and multi-disbursement notes.

By regulation, Army Guidance Counselors are required to verify that a member enlisting for the LRP has qualifying loans and to advise those members if any loan is not eligible for repayment. In doing so, the applicant’s military records should be corrected to show his DA Form 3286-66 was amended to include the sentence “If a student loan is accepted by the official processing you for enlistment as payable under the LRP and the government fails to verify that the student loan accepted...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002073983C070403
The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. The LRP is an educational enlistment incentive which provides for payment of 33 1/3 percent or $1,500.00, whichever is greater, of the unpaid principal of eligible student loans for each year of active duty a soldier completes. Since the applicant acknowledged that she understood that only those loans which were made or insured under the Higher Education Act of 1965 were...

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT REQUESTS: That her records be corrected to show that she was eligible for the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). While it is unfortunate she was led to believe she qualified for the SLRP, to grant the applicant’s request would be giving her a benefit not available to other reservists with non-qualifying MOS’s who were properly not given a SLRP addendum...
