2. The applicant requests that his latest DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), item 10c (Record of Service – Net Active Service this Period) (sic) shows 13 years and 15 days, and that his retirement points be corrected.
3. The applicant states that his DD Form 214 (sic) should read 13 years and 15 days instead of 10 years, 1 month and 23 days. On his National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service), dated 21 April 1991, his retirement points from 18 March 1991 to his Terminal Date of Reserve Obligation of 18 October 1992 are not shown.
4. The applicant’s available military records show that he served on active duty during the following periods:
26 September 1968 to 24 August 1971
02 years, 10 months and 27 days
25 August 1971 to 18 July 1974
02 years, 10 months and 24 days
19 July 1974 to 13 June 1977
02 years, 10 months and 25 days
14 June 1977 to 13 October 1981
04 years, 04 months and 00 days
Total
13 years, 00 months and 16 days
5. On 13 October 1981, he was honorably discharged from active duty in pay grade E-5 under Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 2, based on the expiration of his term of service. His DD Form 214 indicates he had 13 years and 16 days of creditable service.
6. On 19 October 1981, he enlisted in the Texas Army National Guard in pay grade E-5 and remained until he was voluntarily transferred to the Retired Reserve on 21 April 1991. Item 10c (Prior Active Federal Service) of his NGB Form 22 incorrectly shows 10 years, 1 month and 23 days, and item 10d (Total Service for Pay) incorrectly shows 19 years, 7 months and 26 days. Retirement points are not required to be shown on the NGB Form 22.
7. His Army National Guard Retirement Points History Statement, prepared on 21 February 2002 shows 5,585 Total Career Points, 5,463 Total Points for Retired Pay, and 22 years and 16 days Creditable Service for Retired Pay.
8. On 19 April 2002, the Chief, Personnel Policy, Programs and Manpower Division, Nation Guard Bureau opined that his length of service should be corrected. The applicant concurred with the advisory opinion.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record clearly shows the applicant intended to request correction of his NGB Form 22, not his DD Form 214.
2. Notwithstanding the advisory opinion, the corrected length of service is different; however, it is to the applicant’s benefit.
3. The evidence of record shows that item 12a (Net Active Service this Period) of his DD Form 214, dated 13 June 1977 should be corrected to show 2 years, 10 months and 25 days and item 12c should show 8 years, 8 months and 16 days. The remaining DD Forms 214 are correct and need not be changed.
4. Item 10c and 10d, of his NGB Form 22 should be shown as 13 years, 00 months, and 16 days and 22 years, 6 months 19 days, respectively.
5. Effective 21 April 1991, the applicant was transferred to the Retired Reserve at his own request and he ceased earning retirement points.
6. The applicant’s retirement points awarded are complete and do not appear to be in error. He has not shown otherwise.
7. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing:
a. Item 12a of his DD Form 214, dated 13 June 1977, as 2 years, 10 months and 25 days;
b. Item 12c of his DD Form 214, dated 13 June 1977, as 8 years, 8 months and 16 days;
c. Item 10c of his NGB Form 22, as 13 years, 00 months and 16 days; and
d. Item 10d of his NGB Form 22, as 22 years, 6 months and 19 days.
2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060007195C070205
A DD Form 215, dated 23 March 1992, amended the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 1 March 1992, to show he entered active duty on 9 December 1991 and was released from active duty on 22 March 1992. However, except for the DD Forms 214, this Board does not have a record of what other active duty service the applicant may have. As a result, the Board recommends that the State Army National Guard records and all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070001925
The applicant requests, in effect, that his DA Form 3713 (Data for Retired Pay), dated 10 June 1993, be corrected to show 4 years of constructive service credit for completing dental school prior to entering active duty. The applicant provides copies of the following documents in support of his application: a. DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) with a separation effective date of 1 September 1966; b. DD Form 215 (Correction to DD Form 214) dated...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100026415
The applicant requests correction of her records to show she is entitled to full Reserve retirement (20 years). Her current U.S. Army Reserve Personnel Command Form 249-E (Chronological Statement of Retirement Points), dated 3 March 2011, shows she has 16 years, 9 months, and 14 days of qualifying service for Reserve retirement. The evidence of record shows the applicant has 16 years, 9 months, and 14 days of qualifying service for a 15-year Reserve retirement.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120004752
The applicant requests, through a Member of Congress, correction of his records to show additional retirement point credit for his service in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) during the period 2007 to 2011. The code "P" was entered in item 10c (Retirement Points) before the retirement point credit of the DA Forms 1380 provided by the applicant. Since his records do not contain orders attaching him to a USAR unit for retirement points only, and the DA Forms 1380 he provided do not contain the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140020260
The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his records to show he completed 20 years of qualifying service for a non-regular retirement at age 60. The applicant provides a letter from the NGB, dated 1 October 2014, which informed the applicant that the ARNGs Personnel Division conducted a thorough review of his personnel and retirement point records and determined that he did not earn the required 20 years of qualified service for military retired pay eligibility. The applicant...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080012835
The applicant requests that her Report of Separation and Record of Service (NGB Form 22) be corrected to show that she enlisted in the year 1981; that her date of rank to sergeant was before 1999; and that she was available for signature at the time that her NGB Form 22 was signed. The Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) that she was furnished at the time of her release from ADT shows that she completed 5 months and 1 day of net active service this period. ...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110017381
The DD Form 214 is a "snapshot in time" and is a reflection of the applicant's record of active Army service at the time of his separation from active duty. The evidence of record shows the applicant enlisted in the RA on 28 May 1971 and he was discharged on 24 January 1974 which is reflected on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 24 January 1974. Therefore, there is no basis for granting his request to amend his DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 May 1985 to show his active duty...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070001959
The evidence of record also shows that this correction resulted in the applicant being credited with 2 additional days of active service based on his active duty training service during the period 23 24 April 1977. Thus, the applicant provides evidence to substantiate his claim that his DD Form 214, with an effective date of 31 December 1991, does not reflect credit for the 2 days of active duty training during the period 23 24 April 1977. However, the applicants DD Form 214, with an...
