PROCEEDINGS



         BOARD DATE: 26 August 1999
         DOCKET NUMBER: AR1999026206


         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. Loren G. Harrell Director
Mr. Rick a. Schweigert Analyst


The following members, a quorum, were present:

Ms. Shirley L. Powell Chairperson
Mr. Samuel Calderon Member
Ms. Barbara J. Ellis Member

         The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

         The Board considered the following evidence:

         Exhibit A - Application for correction of military
records
         Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
         advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS :

1. The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.


2. The applicant requests, in effect, that all of his military records be corrected to show that he retired in pay grade E-6 rather than pay grade E-5.

3. The applicant states, in effect, that the General Court-Martial Convening Authority (GCMCA) took action in his case after his retirement date and modified his sentence only by reducing him to pay grade to E-6.

4. The applicant formerly was serving on active duty in pay grade E-7 when he was convicted by general court-martial of unlawfully entering an office building with intent to commit larceny and for stealing military property of a value over $100.00. The sentence was adjudged on 7 December 1998. The sentence consisted of reduction to pay grade E-5.

5. Thereafter, the applicant was released from active duty on 31 January 1999. On 1 February 1999 his named was placed on the retired list in pay grade E-5.

6. A pretrial agreement concerning the sentence shows the GCMCA agreed to disapprove any reduction below pay grade E-5, and confinement, and any punitive discharge.

7. On 16 February 1999, the GCMCA took action on the sentence. Despite the fact that the pretrial agreement provided for reduction to pay grade E-5, the GCMCA approved only so much of the sentence as provided for reduction to pay grade E-6.

8. Since the applicant was no longer on active duty, the action by the GCMCA to modify the sentence was not implemented. Accordingly, the applicant appeals to this Board to implement the modified sentence.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. It appears appropriate and just to implement the applicant's sentence of his general court-martial conviction as modified by the GCMCA on 16 February 1999.

2. Accordingly, his records should show that he was reduced to pay grade E-6 vice pay grade E-5, and that he was retired in the higher grade.

3. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.





RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected:

         a. by showing that the individual concerned was reduced by general court-martial on 7 December 1998 to pay grade E-6 rather than pay grade E-5;

         b. by showing that he continued to serve on active duty in pay grade E-6 from the date of his conviction on 7 December 1998 to the date of his release from active duty on 31 January 1999; and

         c. by showing that his name was placed on the retired list in pay grade
E-6 effective 1 February 1999.
