2. The applicant requests, in effect, that her reenlistment contract be corrected to indicate she enlisted for the two 3-year reenlistment option.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that she signed a reenlistment contract for
6-years under the two 3-year reenlistment option. She was later informed that rules prohibited her from receiving the associated bonus because the period of service on the contract was incorrect.
4. In support of her request, she submits letters from her unit reenlistment noncommissioned officer and commander. Both recommended approval of her request to correct her contract. Also submitted is a letter identifying the discrepancy in the applicant’s contract; she had enlisted for 6-years, but the contract should have enlisted her for 3-years and then reenlist for 3-years.
5. The applicant’s military records contain a DD Form 4 Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States) and DA Form 5261-2-R. These forms indicate that she reenlisted in the United States Army Reserve on 13 October 2001 for a period of 6 years, in pay grade E-4. She was identified as having prior service and qualified in military occupational specialty 91C10. Further she was enlisted for the two 3-year reenlistment bonus option and was entitled to a $4,500 bonus.
6. In the processing of this case, an advisory opinion was obtained from the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1, Chief, Enlisted Career Systems Division. They concurred with the applicant's request and recommended that the Board grant the requested relief.
7. A copy of the advisory opinion was provided to the applicant for comment. No comment has been forthcoming.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's request is fully supported by the evidence of record and the
G-1's advisory opinion. The evidence available indicates that it was the intent of the applicant and the Army that on 13 October 2001 she reenlisted for 6-years under the two 3-year reenlistment option. Therefore, it would be proper to correct her records to reflect the correct service period of 3-years.
2. 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 applicant reenlisted on 13 October 2001 for a period of 3 years under the two 3-year reenlistment bonus.
