2. The applicant requests, in effect, the addition of a military occupational specialty (MOS) on his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to reflect reconnaissance training/status.
3. The applicant states that he was selected, after receiving an advanced promotion, to undergo 1 year of training in Army reconnaissance. He completed his training, but failed to notice the appropriate MOS on his DD Form 214.
4. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army, in pay grade E-1, effective 28 April 1972. He was advanced to pay grades E-2 and E-3 effective 14 August and 26 September 1972, respectively. He was awarded primary MOS (PMOS) 11B10 (Light Weapons Infantryman) effective 26 September 1972. His DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record) shows that he was performing duties as a Scout Observer.
5. Unit Orders 2, dated 4 January 1974, indicate that he was advanced to pay grade E-4 and awarded 11B20 as his PMOS effective 2 January 1974. On 15 May 1974, he was awarded 63B20 (Wheel Vehicle Mechanic) as his secondary MOS (SMOS).
6. His Official Military Personnel File fails to show that he was awarded any other MOSs.
7. The applicants DD Form 214 shows that he was honorably released from active duty on 28 April 1975, in pay grade
E-4; that the entry 11B10 Lt Wpns Inf 72/09/26 was shown in item 16a (Primary Specialty Number and Title); and the entry 63B20 Wheel Vehicle Mechanic 74/05/15 was shown in item 16b (Secondary Specialty Number and Title).
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record indicates that the applicant was awarded 11B10 as his PMOS effective 26 September 1972, 11B20 as his PMOS effective 2 January 1974, and 63B20 as his SMOS effective 15 May 1974. Therefore, an error was made by Department personnel in item 16a on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 28 April 1975.
2. There is no evidence that the applicant was awarded any other MOS in the available records.
3. In view of the foregoing, it would be appropriate to correct the applicants records, but only as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by changing item 16a of the DD Form 214 for the period ending on 28 April 1975 of the individual concerned to show 11B20 Lt Wpns Inf 74/02/02.
2. That so much of the application as is in the excess of the foregoing be denied.

The record clearly shows he did not serve in PMOS 11C1O as shown in item 16a of his DD Form 214. Accordingly, it would be appropriate to correct item 16a of his DD Form 214 to show PMOS 11B1O and the evaluation score he received in that MOS (i.e., "none"). The evidence of record does not show, nor has the applicant provided evidence showing, he served in Vietnam.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120004691
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his primary specialty title and number as "71T2O Equipment Maintenance Clerk" instead of "76D Automotive Repairman." His DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record), item 6 (Military Occupational Specialties), shows PMOS 71T was deleted on an unknown date (but possibly on 1 March 1976 as a result of an MOS conversion). Since the available evidence shows he did not hold MOS 71T at the time...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2003 | 2003089198C070403
The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. A DD Form 215, dated 19 January 1994, amended the following items on the applicant's DD Form 214 with an ending date of 14 January 1975: Therefore, there is insufficient basis in which to delete the entry 94B from item 16a on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 14 January 1975.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002069894C070402
There are no orders in the applicant's service personnel records which show that he was awarded the Purple Heart. The Board notes the entry in item 30 of his DD Form 214 which shows that he had 5 days of excess leave from 12 to 16 March 1969, while serving in Vietnam at that time. However, there is no evidence in the available records and the applicant has not provided any evidence to show that he was not granted 5 days of excess leave from 12 to 16 March 1969.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110023455
The applicant provides his DD Form 214. Item 6 (MOS) of his DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record) shows his PMOS as 76D and his SMOS as 67N. Since he held the SMOS of 67N at the time of separation, he is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214 to show this MOS, title, and the date awarded in item 17a.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140007704
The applicant requests correction of item 23 (Specialty Number and Title) of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United Report of Separation or Discharge). The applicant provides: * Separation Order * Amendment Order * DD Form 214 * EA Form 7 (Individual Training Record) * DD Form 214 CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. The evidence of record clearly shows the applicant was initially trained in and awarded PMOS 11B1O on 1 December 1967 and for most of his military service this was the only MOS...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090017672
However, the Army did not correct its records to show his PMOS was 11B4P. While the applicant received awards for his Infantry service in the Republic of Vietnam to include the CIB, the orders were issued awarding these individual decorations showing the applicant's MOS as 11B at the time of the award. The evidence of record does not support correcting the applicant's DD Form 214 to show his PMOS was 11B4P at the time of separation.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090009735
The applicant requests, in effect, reconsideration of the ABCMR denial to upgrade his undesirable discharge. Item 6 does not show he was awarded any other MOS's during his period of active service. There is no evidence of record that he was awarded any other MOS's.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070008731
The MOS 71N recorded on his DD Form 214 on the date of his reenlistment was his correct primary MOS. This same DD Form 214 shows the applicant held a secondary MOS of 76Y; however, the evidence shows that MOS award orders were not published awarding him this MOS until 13 November 1981. Although MOS award orders were not published until 13 November 1981, the MOS 76Y was acknowledged by the applicant, on 12 July 1979, as being his correct secondary MOS.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140021160
As of this date he held PMOS 95B2OV5 and had served in: * MOS 95B20 as an MP from 7 December 1977 to 24 September 1980 for 2 years and 10 months * MOS 95B20 V5 as an MPI from 25 September 1980 to 29 October 1982 for 2 years and 1 month * MOS 84B20 from 10 December 1980 to 29 October 1982 for 1 year and 11 months * MOS 63H20 between 25 April 1977 to 9 December 1980 for 3 years and 7 months 5. As he was not issued a DD Form 214 for the period 25 April 1977 to 10 July 1980, it would be...
