APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his military records be changed to show his correct social security number (SSN) and date of birth (DOB).
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that the SSN and DOB listed on his separation document (DD Form 214) are incorrect. He further states that his SSN was changed in Miami, Florida, while he was attending high school. In support of his application, he submits a document extract containing his social security account information that includes his SSN.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
On 13 February 1974, he was honorably discharged after completing a total of
6 months and 12 days of active military service. He was separated under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 13-5b(3), by reason of unsuitability.
The DD Form 214 issued to and authenticated by him with his signature on the date of his separation, 13 February 1974, confirms that he held the rank of private/E-1 at that time. In addition, the SSN and DOB entered in this separation document are consistent with those documented in his enlistment contract, the service record created upon his enlistment, and in the records and documents prepared and published throughout his tenure on 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. The applicant provides no evidence that suggests the SSN and DOB recorded in his military records was in error at the time. Further, he offers no explanation from the Social Security Administration as to when and why his SSN was changed subsequent to his discharge and why it is different from the one recorded in his military records.
2. In addition, the applicant is advised that in order to correct the DOB contained in his military records, the Board must be provided an original certified true copy of his birth certificate with an unaltered raised seal that confirms the correct DOB.
3. 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 the SSN listed in his records was the one under which he served and further he has failed to provide sufficient evidence to support changing his DOB. Consequently, the Board finds insufficient evidence to support granting the requested relief.
4. 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.
