2. The applicant requests that the effective date of his release from active duty be corrected.
3. The applicant states that item 11d of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) is incorrect and should be 10 August 1962.
4. Except for the applicant’s DD Form 214, his military records are not available. That form shows that he entered on active duty on 15 October 1961, served on active duty for 9 months and 26 days, and was released from active duty, also on 15 October 1961, an obvious error.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Item 11d of the applicant’s DD Form 214 should be corrected to show that he was released from active duty on 11 August 1962, 9 months and 26 days from the date that he entered on active duty. The applicant’s calculation to 10 August 1962 is one day off.
2. 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 showing that the individual concerned was released from active duty on 11 August 1962.

Linda Simmons | |Member | The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The applicant’s DD Form 214 shows that he entered on active duty for training on 7 August 1961 and was released from active duty on 6 February 1962 at Fort Jackson and returned to the Army Reserve to complete his remaining service obligation. Consequently, the applicant’s request to correct his record to show that he entered on active duty on 17 July 1961 is denied.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100026386
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). He was issued a DD Form 214 that shows in 18c he entered an AD on 1 October 1961. The regulation states a DD Form 214 would be issued to each member of the Reserve components ordered to ADT for a period of 90 days or more.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100024334
The applicant states, in effect, his DD Form 214 shows his release from active duty date as 11 August 1961, but it should be 11 August 1962. Therefore, his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show he was released from active duty effective 11 August 1962. ___________X__________ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.
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 | CY2010 | 20100011524
The applicant states: * his dates of service are reversed on his DD Form 214 * the Army Good Conduct Medal and the National Defense Service Medal were never awarded, issued, or placed on his DD Form 214 3. The applicant's separation orders which show he was to be released from active duty on 8 July 1965 are accepted as sufficient evidence on which to amend item 11d of his DD Form 214. Therefore, his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show this award.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002079655C070215
The Board considered the following evidence: EVIDENCE OF RECORD : The applicant's military records show: Evidence of record shows the applicant served on active duty during the period 29 September 1961 through 4 August 1962.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002082559C070215
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 | 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.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001063455C070421
One of the qualifying periods of service for the award is upon termination of service on or after 27 June 1950, of less than 3 years but more than 1 year (for first award only). The above regulation also states that the National Defense Service Medal is awarded for honorable active service for any period between 1 January 1961 and 14 August 1974. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the applicant was awarded the Army Good Conduct...
