2. The applicant requests that the service number on his DD Form 214, Report of Separation, be corrected.
3. The applicant states that the Army service number on his DD Form 214 is incorrect. He contends that the last three digits of his service number should be 245. In support of his request, he furnished copies of orders showing his correct service number and a copy of his DD Form 214.
4. The applicant’s military records were lost or destroyed in the 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center. Information herein is derived from the document provided by the applicant.
5. His DD Form 214 shows that he was ordered to active duty from the Arkansas National Guard on 21 August 1950. His place of entry into active service was listed as Boonville, Arkansas, and his service number is listed as NG_ _ _ _ _ 254. He completed 1 year, 10 months and 29 days service and was honorably released and returned to the National Guard on 19 July 1952.
6. Orders issued by the 24th Evacuation Hospital on 20 December 1950, show that the applicant was placed on 6 days leave. The last three digits of his service number on these orders are 245.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Identifying Information shown on the applicant’s DD Form 214, i. e. home address and the prefix and the first five numbers of his service number are consistent with the information shown on the orders he furnished and his current application. The last three digits of his service number on the DD Form 214, however, are different. He contends they should be 245, instead of 254. Based on the information available, it appears there is a typographical error on the DD Form 214 that should be corrected.
2. Accordingly, 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 changing the last three digits of the service number on the DD Form 214 of the individual concerned to 245.

The applicant requests that his 1951 separation document be corrected to reflect award of the Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman Badge.

All of the applicant’s military records, including his record of induction and DD Form 214, show the last four digits of the applicant’s SSN as 0113. Army Regulation 600-8-22 also provides that the Good Conduct Medal is awarded to individuals who distinguish themselves by their conduct, efficiency and fidelity during a qualifying period of active duty enlisted service. It is evident that the wrong SSN was recorded on the orders and certificate awarding the applicant the PH.

Action to correct his records to reflect award of the Purple Heart, however, was not accomplished until this Board determined that an error had occurred in June 1969, and as such, granted relief of his petition for award of the Purple Heart in July 2003.

The only documents associated with the applicant’s military service were those submitted by the applicant in support of his petition to this Board. The available evidence does, however, support a conclusion that the applicant was on active duty between 14 February 1957 and 7 June 1957 while undergoing training as a medical laboratory specialist and he should have received a DD Form 214. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by issuing the...

Block 3 (Social Security Number) of the applicant's DD Form 214 shows the number *** / 44 / 160. The Board noted the applicant’s contentions that the date of birth, Social Security Account Number and the rank entered on the DD Form 214 issued him on his release from active duty for training are incorrect; however, it finds that only the date of birth and Social Security Account Number are in error. The date of birth recorded in Block 9 of the DD Form 214 is incorrect and should be...
