2. The applicant requests that the social security number on his DD Form 214, Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that the social security number shown on the DD Form 214 is incorrect and should be corrected to reflect the same number as shown on his application to this Board.
4. In support of his request, he has furnished a copy of what appears to be a printout from the Social Security Administration showing that his social security number is the same as that shown on his induction order.
5. The applicant’s military records show that he was inducted on 4 October 1967 and on 4 September 1969 was placed on the permanent disability retired list.
6. His DD Form 214, Item 3, Social Security Number, reflects a number completely different from that shown on his induction order.
7. Several documents in the applicant’s Military Personnel Records Jacket show his social security number as the same number shown on his DD Form 214; however, even more documents reflect his social security number as the same as that under which he was inducted. The social security number under which he was inducted is also reflected on DD Form 1584 (National Agency Check Request), and is listed on all of his Leave and Earning Statements.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Evidence provided by the applicant and evidence in his record shows that an error was made and the incorrect social security number was placed on his DD Form 214. Accordingly, it would be appropriate to correct the social security number on his DD Form 214 to reflect the same number as shown on his application to this Board.
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the social security number of the individual concerned reflects the same number as shown on his application to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD : The applicant's military records show: However, it finds insufficient evidence to show that the SSAN recorded in his military records was in error at the time he served. In this case, the applicant has provided no evidence to suggest that the SSAN listed in his records was in error while he was performing his military service, or that maintaining this SSAN in his records would cause him any injustice.

The record does not show that he was awarded any other ARCOM (with or without the “V” Device). The applicant’s DD Form 214 does not show that he was awarded the Purple Heart or the CIB. Furthermore, his Enlisted Qualification Record and the general orders awarding him the ARCOM with “V” Device show that he was an infantryman engaged in hostile action (at the time he was wounded) and as such met the prerequisites for award of the CIB.
