APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his military records be changed to show his correct social security account number (SSAN).
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that the SSAN listed on his separation document (DD Form 214) is incorrect. In support of his application, he submits copies of the following documents: SSAN card; medicare health insurance card; and certificate of birth.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
On 4 January 1967, the applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States. He continuously served on active duty for 1 year, 11 months, and 2 days, until being honorably released from active duty (REFRAD) on 5 December 1968.
A review of the applicant’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) shows that the service number was used as the primary identification number at the time he entered active duty, and this was the identification number listed in his induction paperwork.
The DD Form 214 issued to the applicant on the date of his separation from the Army lists a SSAN in addition to his service number. The SSAN entered on the applicant’s separation document is consistent with the one entered in the record created on him upon his entry on active duty, and in the orders and documents prepared and published on him throughout his tenure on active duty.
The applicant provided a Xeroxed copy of his SSAN card; however, he did not provide a statement from Social Security Administration officials explaining the difference between his current SSAN and the one under which he performed his military service.
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 applicant provides no evidence that suggests the SSAN recorded in his military records was in error at the time he served. Further, he offers no explanation from Social Security Administration officials as to when and why his SSAN was changed, or why it is now different from the one recorded in his military records.
2. The Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records. The data and information contained in those records should reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created. In this case, the applicant has provided no evidence to suggest that the SSAN listed in his records was in error while he was performing his military service, or that maintaining this SSAN in his records would cause him any injustice. Thus, the Board finds insufficient evidence to support granting the requested relief.
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.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001063164C070421
On 10 June 1971, the applicant was honorably discharged for the purpose of immediate reenlistment. The evidence of record confirms that the applicant served in the Army using SSAN #1 during his entire period of service. Lacking independent verification from the Social Security Administration that confirms that the SSAN recorded in the applicant’s Army record was in error at the time it was used, the Board finds no error in the existing Army military records and no basis for changing those...
