BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
FINAL DECISION
BCMR Docket No. 2000-148
Application for the Correction of
the Coast Guard Record of:
SUMMARY OF THE RECORD
The applicant alleged that the Coast Guard’s Personnel Data System (PDS) erroneously
shows that he reenlisted on November 16, 1998. He alleged that he never signed a reenlistment
contract at that time and asked the Board to remove the reenlistment record from the PDS.
On December 21, 2000, the Chief Counsel of the Coast Guard recommended that the
Board correct the applicant’s record by removing the November 16, 1998, reenlistment and cre-
ating a new 3-year reenlistment dated September 17, 2000. He concluded that the record of
reenlistment in the PDS was erroneous because the Coast Guard could not find any paper con-
tract substantiating it and the applicant’s command verified that no such contract existed.
On January 2, 2000, the applicant agreed with the Chief Counsel’s recommendation. He
also asked to have 23 days of leave that he lost on October 1, 2000, because of the error in the
PDS reinstated. He stated that he wanted to sell 40 days of leave upon his new reenlistment.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Board finds that the applicant has proved that he did not reenlist on November 16,
1998, and the PDS record is erroneous. Therefore, relief should be granted in accordance with
the Chief Counsel’s recommendation. Any leave lost by the applicant because of the error in
the PDS should be reinstated, and he should be allowed to sell any leave he would have been
allowed to sell at the time of his new reenlistment if the mistake had not been made.
ORDER
The military record of XXXXXXXXXX, USCG, shall be corrected by removing the
reenlistment dated November 16, 1998, from the PDS system and by adding a new 3-year
reenlistment dated September 17, 2000, to his records. Any leave he lost as a result of the error
in the PDS shall be reinstated, and he shall be permitted to sell any leave he would have been
allowed to sell due to his discharge and reenlistment on September 17, 2000.
