2. The applicant requests that his Certificate of Release or Discharge (DD Form 214) be corrected to show his primary military occupational specialty (MOS) as 91B10 (medical specialist) instead of 91C10 (practical nurse) as currently reflected.
3. The applicant states that he completed a 10-week medical specialist course in 1999. He states that on 8 September 2000 he was academically removed from phase II of the practical nursing course and, therefore, he should have been awarded a 91B10 MOS.
4. The applicant's military records are unavailable for review. Information herein was obtained from alternate sources.
5. The available information shows that on 22 September 1998, he enlisted in the United States Army Reserve for 8 years in the pay grade of E-1.
6. The applicant was ordered to active duty for training (ADT) on 28 July 1999.
7. Orders were published on 4 February 2000, relieving him from Headquarters United States Army Medical Department Center and School, Fort Sam Houston, Texas and attaching him to the Student Detachment, William Beaumont Army Medical Center, El Paso, Texas, effective 18 February 2000, for a period of 46 weeks or until completion of 91C10 (practical nurse) Class I-00 Phase II, MOS training. The orders indicate that the starting date for the course was 6 March 2000 and the closing date was 2 February 2001.
8. On 8 September 2000, as a result of failing four major exams, the applicant was relieved from the practical nurse course.
9. The applicant was released from ADT on 4 October 2000, after he completed 1 year, 2 months and 7 days of total active service. The DD Form 214 that he was furnished at the time of his release from ADT shows that he completed a
10-week medical specialist course in 1999 and a 6-week practical nurse course in 2000. Item number 11 on his DD Form 214 shows his primary specialty as 91C10 and that he performed duties as a practical nurse for 0 years and 0 months.
10. Army Regulation 611-201 provides, in pertinent part, that in order to be awarded a 91C10 MOS an individual must be able to perform the duties of a 91B10.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. An administrative error was made during the preparation of the applicant’s DD Form 214, which resulted in the incorrect primary specialty being reflected.
2. The evidence of record clearly shows that the applicant was released from the practical nurse course after he failed four major exams.
3. In order for him to have been enrolled in the practical nurse course, he had to have successfully completed a basic medical specialist course. Therefore, medical specialist was his primary specialty while he was on active duty and his DD Form 214 should have been annotated accordingly.
4. 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 amending the DD Form 214 of the individual concerned to show his primary specialty as 91B10, medical specialist.
