APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his military records be changed to show his correct social security number (SSN).
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that the SSN listed on his Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge (DD Form 214) is incorrect and belongs to another individual. In support of his application he submits a xeroxed copy of his SSN card, a copy of his yearly earnings statement, and a copy of his DD Form 214.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
The applicant enlisted in the Army on 21 February 1968 and served as a light wheel vehicle driver. His awards include the National Defense Service, the Vietnam Service Medal, and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with 60 Device. His highest rank attained was private first class (E-3). He was released from active duty on 27 September 1971, in the rank of private (E-1). He received a general discharge.
The SSN recorded in the applicant’s enlistment contract, the service record created upon his enlistment, and in the records and documents prepared and published throughout his active duty service is consistent with the one recorded in his DD Form 214.
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. The applicant provides no evidence that suggests the SSN recorded in his military records was in error at the time it was used and information from the Social Security Administration as to when and why his SSN was changed subsequent to his discharge and is different from the SSN recorded in his military records.
2. The Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records. The data and information contained in those records should reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created. In this case, the applicant acknowledged that his SSN was correct throughout his enlistment and during the separation process. Consequently, the Board finds no error in the existing military records.
3. 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.
Note: A copy of this decisional document with its enclosures, including the copy of the applicant’s current Social Security Card reflecting his current SSN, will be filed in the applicant’s military record and will document the fact that the applicant is currently using an SSN different from the one recorded in his military records and should satisfy any need for clarity in regard to this issue.
