2. The applicant requests that his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to show that he had not received complete dental care prior to his discharge, and that he had completed the Military Police school and the Primary Leadership Development Course. 3. The applicant’s military personnel and dental records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 17 April 1985 with prior service in the USAR, served continuously through reenlistments and extensions, was awarded the military occupational specialties of motor transport operator and military police, and was promoted to pay grade E-6. 4. The applicant’s military dental records show that on 15 December 1992 he was examined and found to have dental defects. There is no record of those defects being corrected. On 8 January 1993 he underwent a separation examination in which it was stated that all appropriate dental services and treatment indicated by the examination have not been completed. 5. On 14 January 1993 he was honorably discharged for failure to meet the Army weight control standards, and given separation pay. The DD Form 214 he was issued at that time, item 17, “Member was provided complete dental examination and all appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to separation” was marked “Yes.” 6. Army Regulation 635-5, as changed, the governing Army regulation for the preparation of the DD Form 214 states that item 17 of the DD Form 214 is applicable to soldiers who had completed at least 180 days of continuous active service at the time of separation. If the soldier had been provided a complete dental examination, and all appropriate dental services and treatment had been completed within 90 days prior to separation, the DD Form 214, item 17, “Member was provided complete dental examination and all appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to separation” will be marked “Yes.” For soldiers being separated prior to completing 180 days continuous active duty “NA” is to be shown in both “Yes” and “No” boxes. 7. The VA, operating under its own laws and regulations, may provide one-time outpatient treatment, consisting of a full spectrum of diagnostic, surgical, restorative and preventive techniques for service connected dental conditions or disabilities that are not compensable in degree, if a condition can be shown to have existed at separation from active duty. Other factors are also considered by the VA in determining a veteran’s entitlement to this service, such as his characterization of service. The veteran must apply to the VA for care within 90 days of his separation or, in instances where the Board corrects a veteran’s records, within 90 days following that correction. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The applicant’s records show that he had dental defects which were not repaired prior to his discharge. 2. Therefore, it would appear that the applicant’s dental treatment was not complete and final at the time of his discharge from the Army. 3. The portion of the applicant’s request pertaining to adding military schools to his DD Form 214 that he attended while on active duty is administrative in nature and does not require action by the Board. The Commander, Army Reserve Personnel Center, will be requested to determine whether those schools should be added to his DD Form 214 and to amend his DD Form 214, if appropriate. 4. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the DD Form 214 of the individual concerned covering the period ending 14 January 1993 have item 17, “Member was provided complete dental examination and all appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to separation”, corrected from “Yes” to “No.” 2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied. BOARD VOTE: GRANT AS STATED IN RECOMMENDATION GRANT FORMAL HEARING DENY APPLICATION CHAIRPERSON
