IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 17 November 2011
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110006467
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 correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show she entered the Regular Army on
1 August 2000.
2. The applicant states her DD Form 214 incorrectly shows her date of entry into the Regular Army as 2 January 2010.
3. The applicant provides a copy of her DA Form 3286-59 (Statement for Enlistment).
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document) shows:
a. she enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve on 7 July 2000 for 8 years;
b. she would enlist in the Regular component on 1 August 2000 for a period of 4 years; and
c. she acknowledged she understood that her period of time in the delayed entry program (DEP) did not count for pay purposes or towards fulfillment of her military service obligation.
2. Records show the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 1 August 2000.
3. On 15 November 2004, the applicant reenlisted in the Regular Army for
3 years.
4. On 10 March 2006, the applicant either reenlisted or extended her term of service; however, the contract for this period of service is not available for review.
5. Special Orders Number 256-0255, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, dated
13 September 2010, directed the applicant's discharge effective 4 November 2010.
6. The applicant's DD Form 214 shows in Item 12 (Record of Service):
a. Item 12a (Date Entered Active Duty this Period): 2 January 2010;
b. Item 12b (Separation Date this Period): 4 November 2010; and
c. Item 12c (Net Active Service this Period): 10 years, 3 months, and 4 days.
7. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) provides detailed instructions for completing separation documents, including the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldier's most recent period of continuous active service. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. Items 12a, 12b, and 12c are to show the Soldier's dates of entry, separation, and net service for the period of the report.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record clearly shows the applicant entered active duty on
1 August 2000 and was discharged on 4 November 2010. Her net active duty service for this period was 10 years, 3 months, and 4 days. However, Item 12a of her DD Form 214 incorrectly shows her date of entry as 2 January 2010. Accordingly, this error should be corrected.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130001307
The applicant requests correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), ending on 7 August 2012, to show her date of entry as 30 March 2010 and her time in service. Accordingly, her DD Form 214 should be corrected to show her correct date of entry and net AD service. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned, particularly her DD Form 214, be corrected by: a. showing in Item 12a: 2010 03 30;...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090018939
The applicant states: * she enlisted, served honorably, then reenlisted * her DD Form 214 does not reflect her honorable service * her DD Form 214 says she did not complete her first full term of service * her DD Form 214 shows only 12 months of foreign service in Iraq when she served 15 months in Iraq 3. Her DD Form 214 shows: * character of service bad conduct * item 12a (Date Entered Active Duty This Period) 20 January 2004 * item 12b (Separation Date This Period) 28 August 2009 *...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110009931
Her record contains a DD Form 4 that shows she enlisted in the RA on 16 October 1997 for a period of 3 years in the rank/grade of PV2/E-2. Therefore, her DD Form 214 for the period ending 15 May 2000 should be corrected to show she entered active duty this period on 16 October 1997. Based on this correction her net active service this period should also be corrected to show she completed 2 years and 7 months of service this period.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090002017
The applicant's records show that she enlisted in the RA for the second time on 2 January 2003. Therefore, item 12a of her DD Form 214 for the period ending 1 August 2005 should be corrected to show this date. Therefore, item 12c of her DD Form 214 should be corrected to show 2 years and 7 months.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100020796
Her DD Form 214 shows in: * item 12a (Date Entered Active Duty this Period) the entry "2009 01 16" * item 12b (Separation Date This Period) the entry "2010 01 17" * item 12c (Net Active Service This Period) the entry "0001 00 02" 8. Although her personnel and DFAS records are inconsistent as to the date she began her service in 2009, the preponderance of evidence suggests she began her tour of duty on 16 February 2009; therefore, it would be appropriate to correct item 12a of her DD Form...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100007760
The applicant requests correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 16 September 1992 (hereafter referred to as her DD Form 214 in question) to show "86 11 19" in item 12a (Date Entered Active Duty This Period).

The applicant requests, in four applications, correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show her correct dates of being absent without leave (AWOL) and to show her correct date of enlistment.
