IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 08 June 2010
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20100007011
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 his 17 March 1990 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to include the time he spent in basic training.
2. The applicant states his enlistment agreement in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) provided for initial active duty for training (IADT) in two separate summer sessions between school terms. When he reentered active duty, his prior active duty was miscalculated in that the time in basic training was not counted.
3. The applicant provides copies of his 3 October 1983 enlistment documents, initial DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record - Part II), 24 June 1982 and 17 March 1990 DD Forms 214, and a 23 December 2008 Statement of Service.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant is currently serving on active duty as a Regular Army Nurse Corps major. He began his Army career on 6 June 1981 when he first enlisted in the USAR.
2. According to his original DA Form 2-1, he completed basic training from 26 June 1981 to 22 September 1981.
3. He completed his split session IADT between 24 June 1982 and 13 August 1982 and was properly issued his first DD Form 214.
4. That DD Form 214 correctly shows 1 month and 20 days of active duty. It also incorrectly shows 2 months and 26 days of prior active duty [it appears the 1 day for the inclusive date was not added to the subtracted difference] and correctly shows 9 months and 21 days of total prior inactive duty.
5. He enlisted in the Regular Army and served on active duty from 3 November 1983 through 17 March 1990. However, the DD Form 214 for that period shows only 1 month and 20 days of prior active duty. This apparently occurred by overlooking the 2 months and 27 days of basic training and reporting only the second IADT period.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant states his enlistment agreement in the USAR provided for IADT in two separate summer sessions between school terms. When he reentered active duty, his prior active duty was miscalculated in that the time in basic training was not counted.
2. His 17 March 1990 DD Form 214 is incorrect in that item 12d shows only 1 month and 20 days of prior active duty. This overlooks his 2 months and 27 days in basic training.
3. The applicant's DD Form 214 should be corrected by changing item 12d to read 4 months and 27 days.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | AR20080018348
Although documents associated with the applicants initial enlistment in the U.S. Army were not available to the Board, the evidence which is available indicates the applicant initially entered military service as a member of the USAR on 2 May 1980 while still in high school. When the applicant was discharged from active duty in June 1987 by reason of permanent physical disability, the entries on his DD Form 214 correctly reflected a total of 5 years, 7 months, and 7 days of active service...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100013448
The applicant requests, in effect, correction to his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 25 August 1984, item 12d (Total Prior Active Service), to show his time on active duty for Basic Training (BT) in 1983 and item 12e (Total Prior Inactive Service) to credit him with time served from August 1984 until 25 October 1985. The evidence shows he was properly credited with time served in the USAR and on AD in items 12c, 12d, and 12e of his DD...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070009342
The applicant's records show that she enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) for a period of 6 years in pay grade E-1 on 23 June 1980. Item 42j (Specific Option/Program Enlisted For) of Section VI (Enlistment Options Accepted) of the DD Form 1966/7 shows the applicant enlisted for: "Headquarters, 4013th U.S. Army Garrison, 300 Miller Road Bossier City, Louisiana, 71112, Unit Identification Code (UIC) W8MFAA; Alternate Training Program in accordance with Army Regulation 140-111 (U.S. Army...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090016619
The applicant requests correction of block 12d (Total Prior Active Duty) and block 12e (Total Prior Inactive Duty) of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 8 December 2006. The applicant's DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document), dated 30 January 2003, does not record her periods of prior active or inactive service; however, her DD Form 1966 (Record of Military Processing - Armed Forces of the United States) does correctly list her...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080019473
The applicant requests, in effect, correction to Item 12d (Total Prior Active Service) and Item 12e (Total Prior Inactive Service) of his DD Forms 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), for the period ending 6 December 1996. The applicant's records contain a DD Form 214 for the period ending 17 February 1993 that shows he was released from active duty at the completion of his required training effective that date and transferred to a USAR unit. The evidence of record...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080010150
The applicant states, in effect, that his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show his correct active duty time. The evidence shows the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 17 June 1975 and continued to serve until he was honorably discharged on 30 January 1978, for immediate reenlistment. Therefore, there is no basis to change item 12b, of his DD Form 214, dated 30 March 1982 to show the entry "82 03 31" (31 March 1982).
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120022401
The DFAS official stated that the applicant requested correction to pay entitlement from 16 August 1982 to 30 April 1994 because he completed over 4 years of previous active enlisted service prior to becoming a commissioned officer. His record should be corrected to show, as of 16 August 1982, he was entitled to pay at the rate of O-1E for over 4 years of enlisted service. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060007195C070205
A DD Form 215, dated 23 March 1992, amended the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 1 March 1992, to show he entered active duty on 9 December 1991 and was released from active duty on 22 March 1992. However, except for the DD Forms 214, this Board does not have a record of what other active duty service the applicant may have. As a result, the Board recommends that the State Army National Guard records and all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be...
