He held a 15E10 MOS for approximately 2 years and 3 months, and in accordance with the applicable regulation, the MOS should be reflected on his DD Form 214. Accordingly, the applicant's DD Form 214 should include the 15E10 MOS. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending his DD Form 214 to show that he served in a pershing missile crewmember (15E10) MOS for 2 years and 3 months.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060004288C070205
The applicant provided a letter, dated 22 February 2006, from the National Guard Bureau which states that since the determination of his Report of Investigation was changed to “In Line of Duty” this qualifies him for incapacitation pay for the period 16 October 1999 to 1 November 2003.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060004327C070205
The applicant requests that his undesirable discharge be upgraded to a general discharge. He also states that his discharge should have been upgraded 6 months after he was discharged. The U.S. Court of Appeals, observing that applicants to the Army Discharge Review Board (ADRB) are by statute allowed 15 years to apply there, and that this Board's exhaustion requirement (Army Regulation 15-185, paragraph 2-8), effectively shortens that filing period, has determined that the 3 year limit on...

The applicant states that he never received the Good Conduct Medal after completing 3 years of active service. Item 13 (Decorations, Medals, Badges, Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized) of the applicant's DD 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) does not show award of the Good Conduct Medal.

The applicant was assigned to an infantry unit in Vietnam and he performed duties as an infantry when the unit was engaged in active ground combat. In this regard, the only evidence which would indicate the applicant did not perform his duties satisfactorily while engaged in active ground combat is the rating by his first platoon leader on his DA Form 20, and his commander’s recommendation to separate him for unfitness. The applicant participated in four campaigns during his service in Vietnam.

The applicant requests that his records be corrected by upgrading his discharge to honorable. Army Regulation 635-200 also states that an honorable discharge is a separation with honor. The Board notes the applicant's good conduct and efficiency during his initial training, and his service for the period January 1973 to March 1974, however, it does not negate his periods of AWOL and is insufficient to warrant the relief requested.
