2. The applicant requests the removal of a Declination of Continued Service Statement (DA Form 4991-R) from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
3. The applicant states that the DA Form 4991-R was rescinded and he has reenlisted. In support of his application he submits a copy of his reenlistment contract.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted on 1 October 1993 for a period of 4 years, training as a medical specialist and enrollment in the Student Loan Repayment Program. He has remained on active duty through a series of continuous reenlistments and was promoted to the pay grade of E-6 on 22 October 1998.
5. On 28 September 2001, the applicant signed a DA Form 4991-R in which he declined to extend or reenlist to meet the service remaining requirements to have 24 months remaining in the service in connection with a permanent change of station (PCS) to Fort Hood, Texas. His commander authenticated the DA Form 4991-R.
6. For reasons not explained in the available records, the same commander approved a reenlistment of the soldier and he reenlisted on 10 July 2002 for a period of 4 years.
7. The DA Form 4991-R is currently filed on the performance fiche of the applicant's OMPF.
8. Army Regulation 601-280 prescribes the criteria for the Total Army Retention Program. It provides, in pertinent part, that soldiers, other than initial termers, who will have more than 4 years of service for pay completed at the expiration of term of service (ETS), must take action to meet service remaining requirements or elect to sign a DA Form 4991-R. Once completed, the form will be filed in the OMPF.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Although the applicant has not provided any explanation regarding when and how the DA Form 4991-R was rescinded, the applicant was allowed to reenlist by the same commander who verified his DA Form 4991-R.
2. Inasmuch as the DA Form 4991-R serves as a bar to reenlistment and he has since reenlisted, the presence of the DA Form 4991-R in his OMPF serves no purpose. Accordingly, it would be in the interest of justice to remove it at this time.
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 by removing from the records of the individual concerned, a DA Form 4991-R dated 28 September 2001.
