		BOARD DATE:	        6 November 2008

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20080014314 


THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

1.  Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

2.  Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).


THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests that item 12b (Separation Date This Period) on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show 27 February 2007 instead of 28 February 2006.

2.  The applicant states, in effect, that he was discharged on 27 February 2007.

3.  The applicant provides no additional evidence in support of his application.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 28 October 2003 for a period of 3 years and trained as a multiple launch rocket system crewman.      

2.  Records at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) show the applicant was released from active duty on 28 February 2007. 

3.  Item 12b on the applicant’s DD Form 214 shows he was released from active duty on 28 February 2006.  

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

Although the applicant contends that he was discharged on 27 February 2007, records at DFAS show he was released from active duty on 28 February 2007.   Therefore, item 12b on his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show he was released from active duty on 28 February 2007.

____XX____  ___XX_____  __XX______  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

________  ________  ________  DENY APPLICATION

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

1.  The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for partial relief.  As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by:

	a.  deleting the entry “2006” in item 12b on his DD Form 214; and 

	b.  adding the entry, “2007” in item 12b on his DD Form 214.

2.  The Board further determined that the evidence presented is insufficient to warrant a portion of the requested relief.  As a result, the Board recommends denial of so much of the application that pertains to amending item 12b on his DD Form 214 to show 27 February 2007.
