The applicant was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri for the remainder of his enlistment and was promoted to sergeant on 20 June 1955. He was separated on 6 July 1955 with an honorable characterization of service and transferred to the Army Reserve as a sergeant.
A 9 May 1957 audit of his service record, conducted by the Army Reserve Personnel Center and attached to an ARCEN Form 213 confirms, the above chronology of his enlistment.
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. Unfortunately, there is no available evidence to substantiate the applicant's requests.
2. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
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.
