of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in
the case of the above-named individual.

|     |Ms. Rosa M. Chandler              |     |Analyst              |


      The following members, a quorum, were present:

|     |Ms. Karen A. Heinz                |     |Member               |
|     |Mr. Robert L. Duecaster           |     |Member               |

      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 DD Form 214 (Certificate of
Release or Discharge From Active Duty) be corrected to reflect his service
in Bosnia from August 1998 to March 1999.

2.  The applicant states that he served in Bosnia from 20 August 1998 to
March 1999 and that his DD Form 214 does not show this service.

3.  The applicant provides in support of his request:

      a.  Permanent Orders Number 208-05, from Headquarters 1st Cavalry
Division, Fort Hood, Texas, dated 27 July 1998.


      b.  A DD Form 214, issued on 23 February 2001.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  Prior to the period of enlistment under review, the applicant served
honorably in the Regular Army (RA) from 8 August 1996 to 23 February 1999.


2.  On 24 February 1999, while assigned B Company, 115th Forward Support
Battalion (FSB), 1st Calvary Division Comanche Base, Bosnia, the applicant
reenlisted in the RA for 2 years, in his previous military occupational
specialty (MOS) 63W (Wheel Vehicle Mechanic) and for 6 months stabilization
at Fort Hood, Texas beginning on 24 February 1999.

3.  On 23 February 2001, the applicant was honorably released from active
duty at the Army Separation Center – Fort Hood and transferred to the
United States Army Reserve Control Group, St. Louis, Missouri.

4.  The applicant's DD Form 214, Item 12(c) Net Service This Period equals
4 years, 6 months and 12 days and Item 12(f) (Foreign Service) equals 0
years, 0 months, and 0 days.

5.  The applicant's DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record) does not
show any foreign service.

6.  The applicant provided Temporary Change of Station Orders for his unit.
 These orders do not contain a manifest that shows the applicant's name or
the exact dates that he departed for Bosnia or returned to the United
States.


DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

The applicant has provided no evidence to corroborate his contention that
he was in Bosnia from August 1998 to March 1999.  The applicant's service
records show that he was in Bosnia on 24 February 1999; however, there is
no evidence available to show when he arrived in Bosnia or when he returned
to the United States.  Therefore, no basis has been established to correct
his record.

BOARD VOTE:

________  ________  ________  GRANT FULL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

__mdm___  __kah___  __rld___  DENY APPLICATION

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The evidence presented does not demonstrate the existence of a probable
error. Therefore, the Board determined that the overall merits of this case
are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual
concerned.
