APPLICANT REQUESTS: Correction of his separation document (DD Form 214) dated 11 September 1991 to reflect in item 11 that he possessed the military occupational specialty (MOS) of 91A, in item 13 that he was awarded the Army Good Conduct Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and three Army Achievement Medals, and in item 14 that he attended two site security training courses of 1 week in duration, German Headstart Orientation for 2 weeks, Single channel operators course for 1 week, airborne radio operator course for 1 week, and a vehicle operators course 9 hours in duration.
APPLICANT STATES: That he served over 90 days in MOS 91A in support of Operation Desert Storm and desires to have it awarded as a secondary MOS. He further states that all of the aforementioned awards he received and training he attended were omitted from his DD Form 214 at the time of his separation. In support of his application he submits copies of his award orders and training certificates for the aforementioned training.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted on 8 September 1987 and served until 11 September 1991, when he was honorably released from active duty in the pay grade of E-4 and transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement). He served his enlistment in MOS 11B (infantryman).
He again enlisted on 6 October 1994 for a period of 3 years in the pay grade of E-4.
In the processing of this case, an advisory opinion (COPY ATTACHED) was obtained from the Enlisted Records and Evaluation Center (EREC). The EREC took action to add the awards to the DD Form 214 and to add those schools that met the requirements of being in duration of 40 hours or longer. It opined, in effect, that there was no evidence to support the applicants claim that he was entitled to award of MOS 91A as a secondary MOS, and that there was no basis to enter the vehicle operators course on his separation document because it was only 9 hours in duration. The EREC notified the applicant of the changes made to his records and informed him that the remainder of his request would require Board action. The EREC recommended that the excess of his application be denied.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, and advisory opinion(s), it is concluded:
1. Action has been taken to correct the applicants separation documents to reflect all of the awards and training for which there is sufficient documentation to support.
2. The applicant has failed to show through the evidence submitted with his application or the evidence of record that he was awarded or is qualified for award of MOS 91A. Therefore, there is no basis for making such an entry in his records.
3. Additionally, inasmuch as the vehicle operators course was only 9 hours in duration and the minimum numbers of hours required to justify an entry in military records for training is 40 hours, there is no basis for making this correction.
4. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for making any changes in excess of those made by the EREC.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
