APPLICANT REQUESTS: correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release from Active Duty).
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that item 11a (Primary Specialty), item 12e (Total Prior Active Service) and item 14 (Military Education) on his DD Form 214 are in error.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He was born on 20 December 1959. He completed 12 years of formal education. On 13 February 1990, he enlisted in the Regular Army for 4 years with 2 months and 22 days of prior active service. He completed the required training and was awarded military occupational specialty (MOS) 31K10 (Combat Signaler). The applicants record does not indicate that he attended any other military school. The highest grade he achieved was pay grade E-4.
On 4 July 1993, the applicant was honorably discharged in pay grade E-4 under the provisions of Army Regulations 635-200, chapter 16, paragraph 11, (short length of time remaining on active duty precludes reassignment). He had completed 3 years, 4 months and 22 days of creditable active service during this enlistment and 5 months and 25 days of total prior inactive service. He was authorized the Army Achievement Medal (two oakleaf clusters), the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Medal, the Kuwait Liberation Medal the Army Service Ribbon, the Army Lapel Button and the Expert Badge M-16.
Army Regulation 635-200, in effect, at the time, set forth the basic authority for separation of enlisted personnel. Paragraph 16-11, applies to personnel assigned to installations or units scheduled for inactivation or permanent change of station, whose normal term of service expires during the 90 day period preceding the effective date of activation or change of station. Personnel who cannot be effectively utilized within the other units at the same station, will be separated from service.
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. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirements.
2. There is no evidence in the applicants record which indicates that the applicants Primary Specialty (item 11a) located on his DD Form 214, is in error nor has the applicant submitted any documentary evidence which supports his allegation.
3. The applicants Total Prior Active Service (item 12e) is correct as shown on his DD Form 214.
4. There is no evidence in the applicants record which indicates that he attended other military schools after his completion of his initial MOS training.
5. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicants requests.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
