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) with the period ending 24 October 2005 to show she completed the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC). 2. The applicant states, in effect, that her DA Form 1059 (Service School Academic Evaluation Report) with the period ending 1 November 2003 was issued after the course was completed. 3. The applicant provides her DD Form 214 and a DD Form 1059. CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant has served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). 2. The applicant enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve on 23 August 2001 and successfully completed basic training and advanced individual training. She was awarded military occupational specialty 71L (Administrative Specialist). 3. The applicant submitted a DA Form 1059, dated 1 November 2003, that shows she completed the Reserve Component PLDC at Fort Dix, New Jersey on 1 November 2003. 4. The applicant was ordered to active duty on 3 October 2004 and she was released from active duty on 24 October 2005. Item 14 of her DD Form 214 (Military Education) shows the entry "COMBAT LIFESAVER, 1 WEEKS, OCT 2004//NOTHING FOLLOWS." 5. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It states for item 14 (Military Education), list in-service training courses successfully completed during the period of service covered by the DD Form 214. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. Evidence of record shows that the applicant completed the Reserve Component PLDC in 2003 at Fort Dix, New Jersey. She was ordered to active duty on 3 October 2004 and was released from active duty on 24 October 2005. In accordance with Army Regulation 635-5, PLDC was not completed during the period of service covered by the DD Form 214; therefore, there is no basis for correcting the applicant's DD Form 214 to show this course.
