2. The applicant requests, in effect, that his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected to show the date he entered the service.
3. The applicant states that it is difficult to prove he entered the service.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 6 August 1968 for 2 years. He was honorably released from active duty on 5 August 1970.
5. Item 17a (Current Active Service Other Than by Induction, Source of Entry) of the applicant's DD Form 214 erroneously contains the entry, "NA." Item 17c (Date of Entry) erroneously contains the entry, "NA."
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 6 August 1968 and his DD Form 214 fails to show his enlistment date. His DD Form 214 should be amended to add his date and source of entry.
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That item 17a of the applicant's DD Form 214 be amended to show the source of his entry, "ENLISTED (First Enlistment)," was checked and that item 17c be amended to show his date of entry as 6 August 1968.

His activation orders, issued by the XX United States Army Corps, specifically state that he was being ordered to active duty for the purpose of training (ACDUTRA). Again the orders specifically state the applicant was being ordered to active duty for the purpose of training. It is clear, based on the various documents which ordered the applicant to active duty, that his final period of active service, 28 September 1968 through 27 April 1969, was not for the purpose of training but rather...
