APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his report of separation (DD Form 214) be corrected to reflect his attendance at a Geneva Convention class.
APPLICANT STATES: The applicant states that the course he attended on military justice was included on his DD Form 214; however, his attendance of a class on the Geneva Convention was not entered on his DD Form 214.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
The applicant was inducted on 21 January 1965. He successfully completed his training as an infantry indirect fire crewman and was transferred to Korea on 3 July 1965, where he served until 1 August 1966 when he was transferred to Fort Carson, Colorado.
He continued to serve until he was discharged under honorable conditions on 17 August 1968. At the time of his discharge his DD Form 214 indicated that he had completed courses in ATP 21-114, the Code of Conduct, and Course B of Military Justice. There is no indication in his records that he received training on the Geneva Convention.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, 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 requirement.
2. The evidence of record fails to shows that the applicant attended a course on the Geneva Convention that warranted an annotation of his records or qualified for entry onto his personnel qualification records at the time.
3. The applicant’s contentions have been noted by the Board. However, they are not supported by the evidence submitted with his application nor the evidence of record.
4. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
