2. The applicant requests that his records be corrected to show a different date of birth (DOB).
3. The applicant states that his correct DOB is 7 January 1970.
4. The applicant’s military records show that after completing 11 months and 15 days of prior active service, he enlisted in the Army on 3 October 1995. His Enlistment Contract shows his DOB as 7 January 1970.
5. On 8 May 1999, he was honorably discharged from active duty in pay grade E-4, under Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 5, based on a physical condition, not a disability. His separation document shows he had 4 years, 6 months and 21 days of creditable service and shows a DOB as 19951003.
6. Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separation Documents) indicates in pertinent part, that the DOB will be taken from the birth certificate presented at the time of entry.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. For historical purposes, the Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records. The data contained in those records should reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created.
2. In the applicant’s case, the DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), dated 8 May 1999 does not reflect the correct information under which military service was performed. These records should be corrected 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 showing item 5, DOB, DA Form 214, dated 8 May 1999 of the individual concerned as 19700107.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD : The applicant's military records show:
ARMY | BCMR | CY2003 | 2003083675C070212
The applicant requests that the Report of Transfer or Discharge (DD Form 214) be corrected to show his correct middle name; date of birth (DOB) and social security number (SSN). The applicant’s military records show that on 4 February 1966, prior to his enlistment, he completed a Statement of Personal History (DD Form 398) showing his middle name, his DOB and his SSN as reflected on his Certification of Birth and his social security card.

The applicant requests that his report of separation (WD AGO Form 53-55) be corrected to reflect his correct date of birth (DOB) and that his specialty be changed from cook to artilleryman. At the time of his discharge, his WD AGO Form 53-55 was prepared to reflect that his DOB was 20 May 1920 and that his military occupational specialty (MOS) was that of a cook. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

The applicant states, in effect, that the date of 22 October 1927 listed in Item 10 (Date Of Birth ) of his WD AGO Form 53-55 is incorrect. Item 10 (Date of Birth ) of his WD AGO Form 53-55 contains the entry 22 October 1927. The Board finds the certificate of birth provided by the applicant provides sufficient evidence to confirm his correct DOB is 27 October 1927 and not 22 October 1927, as is indicated in Item 10 of his WD AGO Form 53-55.

The applicant’s DD Form 47 (Record of Induction), dated 13 December 1963, and his service personnel records show his first name as “Nicholas”. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s military records to show his first name as “Nick”. That the Army Review Boards Agency, Support Division in St. Louis, Missouri, issue a Transcript of Military Record (DA Form 1569-E) showing the applicant’s birth first name as well as the first name he served under in the Army.
