THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

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


THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests that his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show his foreign service in item 12f.

2.  The applicant states that he served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and that foreign service should be reflected on his DD Form 214. 

3.  The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 10 April 2008.  He completed his training and was assigned to Fort Lewis, Washington when he deployed to Iraq during the period 20090103 – 20091219 (11 months and 17 days) and to Afghanistan during the period 20120424 – 20130104 (8 months and 11 days) for a total of 1 year, 7 months and 28 days of foreign service.

2.  On 2 July 2014, he was honorably discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 9 due to alcohol rehabilitation failure.  He had served 6 years, 2 months and 23 days of active service and his DD Form 214 issued at the time of his discharge shows no foreign service in item 12f.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s contention that his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show his foreign service has been noted and found to have merit.
2.  The applicant served 1 year, 7 months and 28 days of foreign service and is entitled to have that time entered in item 12f of his DD Form 214.
