APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, be amended to add the Expert Qualification Badge Hand Grenade and a second Army Achievement Medal and to show his date of entry as April 1984.
APPLICANT STATES: The applicant makes no further statement. He provides his DD Form 214 as supporting evidence.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted in the Delayed Entry Program on 26 April 1985. He enlisted in the Regular Army on 29 May 1985.
The applicant’s Military Personnel Records Jacket does not contain any qualification badge orders. His Personnel Qualification Record, DA Form 2-1, shows he was awarded the Expert Qualification Badge Rifle M-16 but no badge for the hand grenade.
Permanent Orders 70-23, Headquarters, 1st Brigade, 24th Infantry Division dated 2 October 1986 awarded the applicant the Army Achievement Medal.
The applicant was separated on 20 April 1987 for unsatisfactory performance. His DD Form 214, item 12a shows he entered active duty on 29 May 1985. Item 13 shows he was awarded the Army Service Ribbon, the Expert Qualification Badge Rifle, and the Army Achievement Medal.
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. The evidence of record shows the applicant first entered military service, in the Delayed Entry Program, on 26 April 1985. However, he did not enter active duty until 29 May 1985 when he enlisted in the Regular Army, the date correctly reflected in item 12a of his DD Form 214.
2. There is no evidence of record and the applicant provides none to show he was awarded the Expert Qualification Badge Hand Grenade or a second Army Achievement Medal.
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.
