2.  The applicant requests that documents associated with her separation from the Army Reserve be corrected to reflect the correct spelling of her last name.  She notes her discharge certificate, orders, and final statement of retirement points incorrectly reflects her name as “DeFrancisco” when it should be “DeFrancesco.”

3.  Records available to the Board, including a copy of the applicant’s birth certificate, confirm that her last name is spelled “DeFrancesco.”

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence confirms the applicant’s last name was misspelled on documents associated with her separation from the Army Reserve.

2.  In view of the foregoing, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by reissuing documents associated with her separation from the Army Reserve showing the correct spelling of her last name.
