RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 6 July 2006
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20050016327
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. Beverly A. Young | |Analyst |
The following members, a quorum, were present:
| |Mr. Eric Andersen | |Chairperson |
| |Mr. Michael Flynn | |Member |
| |Mr. Dennis Phillips | |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 correction of the date on his bonus addendum to
show 10 September 2002.
2. The applicant states that a Personnel Staff Noncommissioned Officer
(PSNCO) typed the wrong date on the bonus addendum at the time of his
reenlistment and processing for deployment.
3. The applicant provides two memorandums; his enlistment contract; his
Student Loan Repayment Program Addendum; his DA Form 5261-2-R (Selected
Reserve Incentive Program – Reenlistment/Extension Bonus Addendum), and his
DA Form 2A (Enlisted Qualification Record).
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant initially enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on
1 November 1994. He reenlisted in the USAR on 3 September 2002 for a
period of six years. His DD Form 4/1 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document)
shows his date of enlistment as 3 September 2002.
2. At the time of his reenlistment, the applicant completed a DA Form 5261-
2-R for a reenlistment bonus. Page 4 of the DA Form 5261-2-R submitted by
the applicant shows he and the service representative signed the bonus
addendum on 10 September 2002.
3. The applicant's service personnel records contain the original copy of
the DA Form 5261-2-R which shows he and the service representative signed
the bonus addendum on 15 September 2002.
4. In a 16 March 2005 memorandum, the commanding officer of the
4220th United States Army Hospital, Shoreham, New York, stated that the
date on the applicant's bonus addendum was different from the date on the
enlistment contract. He indicated this was a typographical error. The
commanding officer stated the applicant was getting ready to deploy at that
time and they were in a rush to get him reenlisted before he departed for
his mobilization station.
5. On an unknown date, the applicant signed a statement indicating he
accepted the date error on his bonus addendum that was attached to his
contract dated 3 September 2002.
6. In a 22 June 2005 letter, the commanding officer stated the applicant's
enlistment date was erroneously entered on the bonus addendum by the unit.
The commanding officer indicated the date should read: "2002 September 03."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant reenlisted in the USAR on 3 September 2002. At the time
of his reenlistment, he completed a DA Form 5261-2-R for a reenlistment
bonus.
2. The original DA Form 5261-2-R erroneously reflects the date the
applicant signed the document as 15 September 2002.
3. It appears that an administrative error has occurred in this case.
Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant's DA Form 5261-
2-R to show he signed this document on 3 September 2002, the date of his
reenlistment.
BOARD VOTE:
________ ________ ________ GRANT FULL RELIEF
EA______ MF______ DP______ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
________ ________ ________ DENY APPLICATION
BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
1. The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to
warrant a recommendation for partial relief. As a result, the Board
recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual
concerned be corrected by correcting his DA Form 5261-2-R (Selected Reserve
Incentive Program – Reenlistment/Extension Bonus Addendum) to show he
signed the document on 3 September 2002.
2. The Board further determined that the evidence presented is
insufficient to warrant a portion of the requested relief. As a result,
the Board recommends denial of so much of the application that pertains to
correction of the date on his bonus addendum to show 10 September 2002.

The applicant states he enlisted in the US Army Reserve on 13 February 2001, however the computer print out as well as other enlistment documents show he enlisted on 13 February 2000. In a memorandum to this Board, dated 14 March 2002, the applicant’s Command Retention Officer requested that the applicant’s DD Form 4 series and all-inclusive attachments and agreements be corrected by showing his enlistment date as 13 February 2001. Army Regulation 140-111, chapter 5, paragraph 5-10,...

That same document contained a statement, initialed by the applicant, which read that he was “not a previous recipient of a bonus for enlistment, reenlistment, or extension of enlistment in a reserve component.” c.

The applicant's military records show he enlisted in the USAR as a private, in pay grade E-1, effective 25 March 2003, with entitlement to a $5,000 Enlistment Bonus. In view of the foregoing, he recommended the applicant's be authorized the $5,000 Enlistment Bonus annotated in his enlistment contract and bonus addendum...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002067902C070402
The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT REQUESTS: That her records be corrected to show that she was eligible for the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP). While it is unfortunate she was led to believe she qualified for the SLRP, to grant the applicant’s request would be giving her a benefit not available to other reservists with non-qualifying MOS’s who were properly not given a SLRP addendum...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070004556
The applicant requests her current reenlistment contract, dated 24 November 2004, be corrected to show that she enlisted in the United States Army Reserve (USAR) for a period of 3 years and 00 weeks instead of 6 years and 00 weeks due to non-receipt of the $5000 cash bonus promised in her 6-year contract.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002067578C070402
The applicant states that her recruiter did not include the bonus addendum with her enlistment contract, and efforts by her unit to get her the bonus have been unsuccessful. This paragraph requires that a Reservist execute a DA Form 5261-R, Selected Reserve Incentive Program - Enlistment Bonus Addendum, at the time of his or her enlistment. While the applicant has no inherent right to a bonus, to deny her a bonus when her contemporaries (enlisted in the same MOS and unit) all received a...

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
