APPLICANT REQUESTS: The applicant requests correction of Item 16a (Primary Specialty Number and Title) on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show "military occupational specialty (MOS) 11B10R6" vice "MOS 11E10R6."
APPLICANT STATES: That he is making this request to ensure that his records remain accurate.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
That on 30 May 1972, he enlisted in the Regular Army for 3 years, for the United States Army Europe Enlistment Option, for Army Career Group 11-Infantry, with basic combat training (BCT) in Fort Knox, Kentucky. On 31 May 1972, he authenticated a statement indicating that he waived BCT at Fort Knox. He was then assigned to Fort Dix, New Jersey, for basic combat training (BCT). Upon completion of BCT, he was assigned to Fort Polk, Louisiana, for advanced individual training (AIT). On an unknown date in 1972, he completed the 8-week course requirements and he was awarded MOS 11B (Light Weapons Infantryman). Upon completion of AIT, he was assigned Fort Bliss, Texas, to attend the Red Eye Gunner Course. On 6 October 1972, he completed the
3-week course requirements and he was awarded MOS 11E10R6, Redeye Gunner, as his primary MOS.
On 13 November 1974, he was honorably released from active military service. His DD Form 214 shows in Item 16a that he was awarded MOS 11E10R6, Redeye Gunner, on October 1972.
Army Regulation 635-5, in effect at the time, prescribed the policies and procedures for preparing separation documents for soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service. In pertinent part, it states that the Primary MOS code, title, and year/month/date of award will be entered in Item 16a of the DD Form 214.
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. In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
2. The applicant completed the Redeye Gunner Course and his MOS changed from "11B - Light Weapons Infantryman" to "11E - Redeye Gunner." Therefore, his DD Form 214 appropriately shows that his primary MOS is 11E10R6.
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.

Item 23a (Specialty Number and Title) on the applicant's DD Form 214 shows MOS 16H. There is no evidence of record which shows the applicant completed armor school/training. In the absence of orders which show the applicant was awarded MOS 11E, the entry on the applicant's DA Form 20 which shows he attended AIT in MOS 11E from 14 November 1966 to 18 March 1967 (with no corroborating entry in item 27 of his DA Form 20 to show he completed this AIT) is insufficient as a basis for amending...

The DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows he completed 5 months and 6 days of active duty service during the period covered by the DD Form 214.

The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for partial relief and to excuse failure to timely file.
