ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001064457C070421
The applicant states that he entered active duty on 29 October 1997, instead of 4 July 1997, which affects item 12c and item 12d of his DD Form 214, dated 25 August 2001. The applicant’s military records show he enlisted in the US Army Reserve (USAR) on 31 May 1988. The Board notes that by changing 12a (Date Entered AD This Period) of the applicant’s DD Form 214, dated 25 August 2001, to show 29 October 1997, that his net active service this period is incorrect.
