2. The applicant requests that her Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, be corrected to show the correct length of time she held military occupational specialty (MOS) 75C.
3. The applicant states that she spent 4 years in the Army and worked as a 75C right after advanced individual training (AIT) and throughout her enlistment. Her DD Form 214 shows she was not given full credit for the time she held MOS 75C.
4. The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Regular Army on 15 July 1987. Her Personnel Qualification Record, DA Form 2-1, shows that she completed 75C AIT on or about 18 September 1987 and that she worked as a 75C throughout her enlistment.
5. A Personnel Action form, DA Form 4187, dated 25 July 1988 shows that the applicant was advanced to Private First Class and at that time held MOS 75C10.
6. Orders 66-2, 176th Personnel Service Company dated 21 April 1989 shows the applicant was awarded primary MOS 75C100000 effective 20 April 1989.
7. The applicant was released from active duty on 15 July 1991. Her DD Form 214, item 11 shows she held MOS 75C for 2 years and 3 months.
8. Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the separation documents prepared for soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. In pertinent part it states that the MOS code, title, and years and months (held) will be entered in item 11.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record shows that the applicant completed 75C AIT on or about 18 September 1987, that she worked in MOS 75C throughout her enlistment, and that she held MOS 75C10 on 25 July 1988 when she was advanced to Private First Class. Orders 66-2, 176th Personnel Service Company dated 21 April 1989 appear to have been issued in error or may have been issued to replace missing MOS orders. In any case, the Board believes that the effective date of 20 April 1989 listed on those orders is erroneous and that the applicant was awarded that MOS directly out of AIT and actually held it for 3 years and 10 months.
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the applicant’s DD Form 214, item 11 be corrected to show she held MOS 75C for 3 years and 10 months.

The applicant requests her military records be corrected to show the type of discharge as medical instead of relief from active duty. The applicant contends that her records should be corrected to show medical separation. The available evidence shows the applicant was separated from the Regular Army with the benefit of a medical evaluation prior to her separation.

The fact that the VA may now have determined that the applicant exhibited signs of MS while on active duty is not evidence that her service medical records are in error. If the VA did grant the applicant a disability rating for MS, that does not necessarily demonstrate any error or injustice in the basis for her separation from the Army. BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100026044
The applicant requests, in effect, reconsideration of her earlier request for correction to item 18 (Remarks) on her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), for the period ending 11 June 1982 where it states, "1 day excess leave from 4 October 1981 to 5 October 1981." As new issues, she requests: a. in effect, correction of item 26 (Separation Code) of her 1982 DD Form 214 and award of a U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) incentive under the Student Loan Repayment Program...

The applicant's OMPF is void of any documents or orders that indicate the applicant was ever ordered to active duty for any reason other than annual training or that she ever served a period of active duty for which a DD Form 214 was issued subsequent to her completion of IADT on 27 June 1987. The NGB Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) issued to her upon this discharge shows she held the rank of PV2 and that she had completed a total of 3 years, 2 months, and 4 days of...

The examiner stated the applicant received a consultation for general surgery for what appeared to be a mass in the right parotid gland. The "8499" indicates her condition was rated analogous to disability code "8407." Title 10, U.S. Code (USC), section 1203, provides for the physical disability separation with severance pay of a member who has less than 20 years service and a disability rated at less than 30 percent.

APPLICANT STATES : In effect, that the FSM was 18 years of age at the time of his discharge, and he waived his right to counsel or to receive help in understanding the ramifications of accepting the discharge.
