ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002074397C070403
The applicant states, in effect, that his service entitles him to the award of the National Defense Service Medal. Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards) provides, in pertinent part, that the National Defense Service Medal is awarded for honorable active service for any period between 27 June 1950 through 27 July 1954, 1 January 1961 through 14 August 1974, 2 August 1990 through 30 November 1995, and from 11 September 2001 to a date to be determined.

The applicant's DD Form 214 does not show his dates of service in Korea. 9. Review of the applicant's records and Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards) does not reveal entitlement to any additional awards. The Board considered the applicant's request that his dates of service in Korea from 1960 to 1961 be shown on his DD Form 214.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002078629C070215
The applicant's DD Form 214, with an effective date of 18 March 1961, shows entitlement to the Army of Occupation Medal with Germany Clasp based on service in Berlin. The applicant’s DD Form 214 shows the Vietnam Service Medal as an authorized award. His DD Form 214, with an effective date of 18 March 1961, shows entitlement to award of the Army of Occupation Medal with Germany Clasp based on his service in Berlin.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001063668C070421
His DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) does not reflect award of the Good Conduct Medal. The Board also notes that in spite of board action recommending reclassification for inefficiency there is no evidence the applicant was ever reassigned from his supply duties or reclassified. There is no evidence, and the applicant has not provided any, that his reduction to pay grade E-2 while in the USAR was in error or unjust.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002071491C070402
The applicant requests correction of his records to show the medals and certificates to which he is entitled such as the “Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Cold War Certificate, etc.” However, the applicant has presented no evidence that other soldiers in his unit received the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and he was denied that service medal. This medal is not shown on the applicant’s DD Form 214; therefore, the applicant is entitled to...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001064048C070421
Evidence of record shows the applicant served in Korea from 14 December 1960 through 30 August 1962. Since he did not have an active Army status on or after 1 August 1981, he is not eligible for retroactive award of the Overseas Service Ribbon for his service Korea. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing the individual concerned was awarded the National Defense Service Medal.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 21 February 2007 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20060009031 I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual. The applicant requests that his records be corrected to show the award of the National Defense Service Medal and the Army of Occupation Medal. In the absence of his military records, which show the applicant served...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001058879C070421
During the applicant’s period of military service the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal was not authorized for service in Germany. His DA Form 137 tends to support a conclusion that there is no evidence available which would serve as a basis to deny him an award of the Army Good Conduct Medal. The Board can confirm the applicant was authorized travel to see medical personnel early in 1959 and subsequent to his release from active duty.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001065991C070421
The applicant states that the last two digits of his SSAN should be "43" and not "34" as reflected on his DD Form 214. The is no evidence in the applicant's records to show that he was a tank driver (MOS 131.60). That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by issuing to the individual concerned a DD Form 215 (Correction to DD Form 214) to show in Item 32 on his DD Form 214 of 13 February 1961 that his correct SSAN is "XXX-XX-XX43."
