RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 20 APRIL 2004
DOCKET NUMBER: AR2004100056
I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record
of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in
the case of the above-named individual.
| |Mr. Carl W. S. Chun | |Director |
| |Ms. Gale J. Thomas | |Analyst |
The following members, a quorum, were present:
| |Mr. Thomas D. Howard | |Chairperson |
| |Ms. Jennifer L. Prater | |Member |
| |Mr. Lawrence Foster | |Member |
The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.
The Board considered the following evidence:
Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records.
Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including advisory opinion,
if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests, in effect, that his enlistment contract be
corrected to show that the term of service he enlisted for be changed from
6 years and 00 weeks to 8 years and 00 weeks.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that Item 8, Section B, on the DD Form
4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United States,
should read 8 years 00 weeks, and not, 6 years 00 weeks.
4. In support of his application, the applicant submits a copy of her DD
Form 4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United
States, with an effective date of 30 June 2003.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. DD Form 4/1, in Section B, Item 8, of the applicant's enlistment
contract, shows that he enlisted in the Regular Army for 6 years and 00
weeks on
30 June 2003.
2. On 10 November 2003, a Memorandum For Record (MFR) from the U.S. Army
Recruiting Command (USAREC), 43d Adjutant General Battalion, Fort Leonard
Wood, Missouri, confirms that the DD Form 4/1 is incorrect and the term of
his enlistment should be corrected to read, “for a period of 8 years and 00
weeks,” instead of “for a period of 6 years and 00 weeks,” as is now shown.
3. Public Law 98-94 outlines the statutory service obligations incurred by
individuals who enlist in the any component of the U.S. military.
Effective 1 June 1984, all personnel incur an 8-year statutory obligation
on initial entry into the Armed Forces. Before 1 June 1984, all personnel
incurred a 6-year statutory obligation on initial entry.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. An error was made during the preparation of the applicant’s enlistment
contract, which resulted in an incorrect term of service being shown on his
DD Form 4/1.
2. The applicant's DD Form 4/1 erroneously shows his term of enlistment as
6 years and 00 weeks. The MFR from USAREC dated 10 November 2003, confirms
that the DD Form 4/1 is incorrect and should be corrected to reflect his
term of enlistment as 8 years and 00 weeks.
BOARD VOTE:
__TDH __ __JLP___ ___LF __ GRANT RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
________ ________ ________ DENY APPLICATION
BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant
a recommendation for relief. As a result, the Board recommends that all
Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by
changing the applicant’s term of enlistment from 6 years and 00 weeks to
8 years and 00 weeks.
