APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his records be corrected to reflect his current legal name of S. D___ D___.
APPLICANT STATES: The applicant makes no additional statement. A letter from his Senator indicates the applicant legally changed his name on an unknown date. He provides copies of his passport, two driver’s licenses, his voter registration card, and his health insurance card as supporting evidence.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records were lost or destroyed in the National Personnel Records Center fire in 1973. Information contained herein was obtained from alternate sources.
The applicant entered the Army on 30 December 1942 and was separated on 23 October 1945 under the name S___ D___. His Final Payment Work Sheet, WD Form 372A, shows his name as S___ D___.
At the time, Technical Manual 12-235 prescribed the separation documents prepared for soldiers upon discharge from active military service. It established the proper method of executing and disposing of the various forms, records and reports required. It stated that all entries on the Enlisted Record and Report of Separation were to apply only to the current period of active duty.
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. For historical purposes, the Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records. The data and information contained in those records should actually reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created. In the absence of a showing of material error or injustice, this Board is reluctant to recommend that those records be changed.
2. It appears the applicant appropriately served on and was separated under the name as shown on the available military documents. It appears he did not legally change his name until after his separation. While the Board understands the applicant’s desire to have the records changed, it finds no basis for compromising the integrity of the Army’s records. This Board action will be filed in his military records so a record of his current legal name will be on hand.
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.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant states the legal name change should be documented in the military records. The fact that subsequent to service, the applicant underwent a name change does not provide a sufficiently mitigating basis for changing the information recorded in the military records, which were correct at the time the applicant performed military service.
