PROCEEDINGS


         IN THE CASE OF:


         BOARD DATE: 22 OCTOBER 2002
         DOCKET NUMBER: AR2002002077672


         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.

Mr. Carl W. S. Chun Director
Ms. Deborah L. Brantley Senior Analyst


The following members, a quorum, were present:

Mr. Fred N. Eichorn Chairperson
Ms. Shirley L. Powell Member
Mr. Elzey J. Arledge, Jr. Member

         The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

         The Board considered the following evidence:

         Exhibit A - Application for correction of military
records
         Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
         advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS :

1. The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.


2. The applicant requests reconsideration of his previous application to correct his military records to show that he was separated with a military occupational specialty (MOS) of 76Y30 vice 76Y10. He submits additional documents from his military personnel file which reflect his MOS as 76Y30 at the time of his separation.

3. The Memorandum of Consideration (MOC) of the Board’s 26 February 2002 review of the case (AR2001060607) is incorporated herein by reference as if wholly set forth. The applicant’s submission is a new argument that requires Board consideration.

4. The applicant's military personnel file indicates he enlisted for training in MOS 76Y30, was awarded that specialty in July 1973 following completion of training, promoted in that specialty in April 1974, tested in that specialty in 1974 and 1975 and performed duties in that specialty throughout the duration of his enlistment. The only two documents in his file which reflect that his MOS was 76Y10 was the 1976 order releasing the applicant from active duty and his 1976 DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty).

5. In 1977 the 76 (Supply) Career Management Field (CMF) was revised in support of the Enlisted Personnel Management System (EPMS). Under EPMS all military occupational specialties were reconfigured to reflect a fixed grade-skill level relationship (i.e. skill level 1-pay grade E-4 and below, skill level 2-pay grade E-5, skill level 3-pay grade E-6, etc.). Prior to the 1977 CMF revision a soldier serving in specialty 76Y30 was not an indication of the individual's pay grade.

CONCLUSIONS
:

1. The evidence available to the Board confirms that the applicant did in fact hold MOS 76Y30 at the time of his separation from active duty in 1976. His CMF was not reconfigured to reflect the grade/skill level relationship until 1977, after the applicant was released from active duty.

2. The Board concludes there is sufficient evidence to confirm that the applicant's 1976 separation document should reflect that he was separated in MOS 76Y30 vice 76Y10.

3. In view of the foregoing findings and conclusion, correcting the applicant’s records as recommended below would correct an error.





RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that he individual concerned was separated in MOS 76Y30 vice 76Y10.

    It is probable, because the MOS realignment action was only a few months old at the time the applicant's Application for Voluntary Retirement was prepared, that an incorrect MOS was entered on the form. Records show the applicant should have discovered the alleged error or injustice now under consideration on 31 August 1978; therefore, the time for the applicant to file a request for correction of any error or injustice expired on 30 August 1981. The Board determined that the evidence...

    The applicant requests, in effect, correction of the military occupational specialty (MOS) that is recorded on his discharge document. The applicant’s military personnel records show he enlisted in the Regular Army for a period of 3 years and entered active duty on 31 December 1970. The applicant contends, in effect, that his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show PMOS 76V4O because he was awarded the PMOS when he was promoted to the rank of SGT (E-5) on 4 April 1975.

    The instructions for item 11 specify to enter the MOS codes, titles, years, and months for enlisted personnel and all additional MOS's served for a period of 1 year or more. Although there are no orders awarding the applicant MOS 11E, the evidence of record shows he successfully completed Basic Armor OSUT. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending item 11 of his 17 December 1979 DD Form 214 to show the...

    He states that his dates of service on his 1984 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) are incorrect. The applicant's existing military personnel file, which appears to have been created in 1987 when he returned to active duty for a third time, also contains a DD Form 214 reflecting a period of active duty between 2 June 1977 and 1 September 1984. The evidence suggests the applicant likely was discharged for the purpose of immediate reenlistment on 1 June 1977...
