IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 23 September 2008
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20080006671
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests that the entry in Item 12a, Date Entered Active Duty This Period, of his separation document, DD Form 214, be corrected from 29 August 2005 to 4 January 1998.
2. The applicant states that several other entries on his DD Form 214 clearly show that the Date Entered Active Duty This Period is incorrect.
3. The applicant provides selected excerpts from his military records.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicants military records show that he enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) Delayed Entry Program on 19 November 1997, and enlisted in the Regular Army on 5 January 1998.
2. The applicant was awarded the military occupational specialty of intelligence analyst, served continuously through reenlistments, and was promoted to pay grade E-6.
3. On 12 February 2006, the applicant was honorably discharged. Item 12a of his DD Form 214 has 29 August 2005 entered. Item 12c, Net Active Service This Period, has 8 years, 1 month, and 8 days entered.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 provides that, effective 1 October 1979, DD Forms 214 are not issued to enlisted service members who are discharged for immediate reenlistment.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicants military records confirm that he enlisted on 5 January 1998, not 4 January 1998 as stated by the applicant.
2. However, since the applicant served continuously from the date of his enlistment, his DD Form 214, Item 12a, Date Entered Active Duty This Period, has an incorrect date entered. The correct date should be 5 January 1998.
