THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:
24. On 19 September 2001, the applicant’s case as considered by the Board on 13 September 2001 was reviewed. This review revealed that item 12 (Last Duty Assignment and Major Command) of his DD Form 214 should have been corrected to show the entry “7th Infantry Division”.
THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES:
12. At the time of the Board’s 13 September 2001 decision in this case, it was the intent of the Board to make the applicant’s record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time of his separation.
13. The recommendation to correct item 12 (Last Duty Assignment and Major Command) of his DD Form 214 was inadvertently omitted.
14. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be further corrected by amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the Proceedings, dated 13 September 2001:
c. to show the entry “7th Infantry Division” in item 12 (Last Duty Assignment and Major Command) of his DD Form 214.
