ABCMR Memorandum of Consideration (cont)
APPLICANT REQUESTS: 5 years to 4 years.
APPLICANT STATES: He personally knows some soldiers who only reenlisted for
4 years even though they attended language school. Since he did not require
language training, the Army gained 63 weeks of useful service from him that
would have otherwise been used for language training.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military
He enlisted in the Regular Army as an interrogator on 7 October 1999 for 5
years in the Army Civilian Acquired Skills Program (ARCASP), wherein he
would receive an accelerated advancement from pay grade E-3 to pay grade E-
4.
On 23 July 2002, the Office of the Chief, Legislative Liaison (OCLL),
responded
to an inquiry from the applicant's elected representative. In that response
the OCLL stated that officials at the US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC)
stated that the minimum enlistment period for the military occupational
specialty (MaS) of interrogator is five years, and that there are no
exceptions.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information
presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record and
applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. The applicant was properly enlisted for 5 years for the MOS of
interrogator.
2. His language skills were acknowledged by the Army by his enlistment in
the ARCASP, which resulted in his accelerated advancement in grade.
3. While the applicant now believes that he should have been afforded the
opportunity to execute a 4-year enlistment agreement, there are no
provisions for a term of service of less than 5 years for the MOS of
interrogator. He had the choice at the time of his enlistment to accept the
5-year term of service to be an interrogator, or to enlist for an MOS which
allowed a lesser term of service.
