2. The applicant requests that his enlistment contract (DD Form 4/3, section 20a) be corrected to reflect 3 years.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that he enlisted for a period of 3 years; however, section 20a of his DD Form 4/3 incorrectly indicates he enlisted for a period of 4 years. The remainder of his contract indicates 3 years and he has provided a memorandum from the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) Operations Supervisor which confirms that he enlisted for a period of 3 years.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted on 28 June 2000 for a period of 3 years, under the airborne infantry enlistment option. He was processed at the Raleigh, North Carolina MEPS and his contract (less item 20a, DD Form 4/3) was prepared to reflect a 3-year enlistment. Item 20a reflects 4 years.
5. The memorandum from the Operations Supervisor of the Raleigh MEPS indicates that a typo-graphical error was made in item 20a of the DD Form 4/3 to indicate 4 years, when in fact it should reflect 3 years.
6. A review of the reservation sheet completed when he applied for enlistment also shows he enlisted for a period of 3 years.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence is clearly convincing that the applicant enlisted for a period of 3 years and that an administrative error resulted in a period of 4 years being entered in item 20a of his DD Form 4/3 at the time of his enlistment.
2. Accordingly, the Board finds that it would be in the interest of justice to correct his records to reflect that he enlisted for a period of 3 years.
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 showing in item 20a of the DD Form 4/3 dated 28 June 2000, pertaining to the individual concerned, that he enlisted for a period of 3 years, vice the 4 years currently reflected on that form.
