2. The applicant requests that item number 17a (Current Active Service Other Than By Induction) on his Report of Transfer or Discharge (DD Form 214) be corrected to show that he was, “ordered by executive order to active duty” instead of showing that he was ordered to active duty for training from the United States Army Reserve (USAR) as currently reflected.
3. The applicant states that a Veterans Administration Enrollment Officer at the West Palm Beach location said that item number 17a on his DD Form 214 should read by Executive Order to Active Duty.
4. The applicant’s military records show that on 12 June 1965, he enlisted in the Arizona Army National Guard (AZARNG) for 6 years in the pay grade of E-1. He successfully completed his training as a clerk typist.
5. On 26 December 1967, he was honorably discharged from the AZARNG and was transferred to the USAR Control Group to complete his reserve obligation. The Report of Separation and Record of Service (NGB Form 22) that he was furnished at the time of his discharge from the AZARNG shows that he was discharged for the purpose of being ordered to active duty under the provisions of Public Law 89-687 and Department of the Army Circular 135-10.
6. On 28 February 1968, orders were published by direction of the President releasing the applicant from the USAR Control Group and ordering him to active duty (involuntarily) in Europe for a period of 1 year, 5 months and 25 days.
7. Accordingly, on 20 March 1968, he was placed on active duty and he was transferred to Europe. He was honorably released from active duty on 23 July 1969 and he was transferred to the USAR Control Group to complete his reserve obligation. Item number 17a on the DD Form 214 that he was furnished at the time of his release from active duty shows that he was ordered to active duty for training from the USAR.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The DD Form 214 that the applicant was furnished at the time of his separation incorrectly reflects that he was ordered to active duty for training at the time that he entered on active duty on 20 March 1968.
2. The evidence of record shows that he was ordered to active duty by direction of the President and his DD Form 214 should be amended to reflect the appropriate information.
3. 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 amending item number 17a on the DD Form 214 of the individual concerned to show that he was involuntarily ordered to active duty from the USAR by Executive Order dated 20 February 1968.

This DD Form 214 shows the applicant was ordered to Active Duty for Training (ACDUTRA) for the period 3 April 1965 through 1 October 1965. Evidence of record shows the applicant already held the MOS 76D20 when he was involuntarily ordered to active duty. Therefore, the applicant is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214, in item 17a, to show he was on active duty for the period 26 August 1968 through 6 February 1970.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002082782C070215
Records available to the Board indicate that the applicant enlisted in the United States Army Reserve for a period of 6 years on 7 May 1964. Although the applicant was in fact a member of the United States Army Reserve at the time he was ordered to active duty in 1968, he was not ordered to active duty for training purposes as his 1969 separation document indicates. While the evidence does not indicate that the applicant was integrated into the Regular Army when he was order to active...

The applicant's military service records contain a DD Form 214, with an effective date of 20 October 1969. The applicant contends, in effect, that his DD Form 214, with an effective date of 20 October 1969, should be corrected to show he was ordered to active duty rather than ordered to active duty for training. However, the evidence of record shows that this service is not accurately recorded on the applicant's DD Form 214, with an effective date of 20 October 1969.

His activation orders, issued by the XX United States Army Corps, specifically state that he was being ordered to active duty for the purpose of training (ACDUTRA). Again the orders specifically state the applicant was being ordered to active duty for the purpose of training. It is clear, based on the various documents which ordered the applicant to active duty, that his final period of active service, 28 September 1968 through 27 April 1969, was not for the purpose of training but rather...

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant states his DD Form 214 shows he was ordered to active duty for training (ACDUTRA) on 4 September 1968. The applicant contends that item 17 of his DD Form 214 should be corrected because he was ordered to active duty and not "Ordered to ACDUTRA."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080017822
The applicant requests, in effect, that item 17a (Current Active Service Other than by Induction) of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) that was issued on 24 September 1969 be corrected to show that he was ordered to active duty (AD) instead of ordered to active duty for training (ACDUTRA). The applicant essentially states that his DD Form 214 that was issued on 24 September 1969, which will simply be referred to as his second DD Form 214...

His DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) shows he was inducted into the Army on 17 March 1970. The evidence of record shows the applicant was inducted into the Army on 17 March 1970. The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for partial relief and to excuse failure to timely file.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080009492
The applicant requests, in effect, that the entry in item 17a (Current Active Service Other Than by Induction/Source of Entry) on his DD Form 214 (Report of Transfer or Discharge) for the period ending 14 July 1969 be corrected. This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicants failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so. DISCUSSION...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090011866
The evidence of record shows the applicant was discharged from the ARNG and as a Reserve of the Army on 26 February 2008 and his service was incorrectly calculated to show he had only completed 18 years of service for non-regular retirement. Therefore, the applicant is entitled to correction of his records to show he was transferred to the Retired Reserve. As a result, the Board recommends that all state Army National Guard records and the Department of the Army records of the individual...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110014829
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) for the period ending 5 February 1970 to show he was not on active duty just for training. The evidence of record clearly shows the applicant was involuntarily ordered to active duty as an enlisted Reservist and served that active duty in Europe. However, his subsequent DD Form 214 incorrectly reports this service as ACDUTRA.
