2. The applicant requests that his report of separation (DD Form 214) dated 6 September 1981 be corrected to reflect his correct Social Security Account Number (SSAN).
3. The applicant states that at the time he enlisted he did not have to show a Social Security Card and that he used a payroll stub to write down what he thought at the time was his SSAN. He goes on to state that the error was detected while he was in basic training and his drill sergeants told him to get it corrected at his first permanent duty station; however, he never did and never thought it to be an important issue. However, he is approaching retirement and needs credit for his initial term of service and cannot receive it without a correction to his DD Form 214. In support of his application he submits a copy of his Social Security Card, a statement from the Social Security Administration indicating his correct SSAN and a notarized affidavit explaining the circumstances surrounding the error.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in Detroit, Michigan, on 7 July 1978. At the time of his enlistment his home of record (HOR) was in Madison Heights, Michigan. He indicated his SSAN was 4--0--4011. He served until 6 September 1981, when he was honorably released from active duty (REFRAD) in the pay grade of E-5 due to the expiration of his term of service. He had served 3 years and 2 months of total active service and was transferred to the United States Army Reserve (USAR) Control Group (Reinforcement). At the time of his REFRAD, his DD Form 214 indicates his SSAN was 4--0--4011.
5. On 1 December 1984, he enlisted in the USAR and indicated that his SSAN was the number listed on the Social Security Card he has presented with his application and which matches the number verified by the Social Security Administration. He has remained in the USAR, primarily on active duty in the Active Guard/Reserve Program through a series of continuous reenlistments. At the time of his enlistment in the USAR, his HOR was listed as Madison Heights, Michigan.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Board finds that the applicant has provided sufficient evidence and a reasonable explanation regarding the error in his SSAN on his DD Form 214 dated 6 September 1981.
2. Accordingly, the Board finds that it would be in the interest of justice to correct his DD Form 214 to reflect the correct SSAN as depicted on the Social Security Card he has provided and which has been confirmed by officials at the Social Security Administration.
3. 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 changing the SSAN on the DD Form 214 dated 6 September 1981, to reflect the SSAN reflected on the Social Security Card provided by him with his application.

Item 51 (Height) of his Standard Form (SF) 88 (Report of Medical Examination) shows he was 72 1/2 inches (approximately 6'1"). Therefore, the entry on his induction record that shows his place of birth is Lawrenceburg, TN is accepted as sufficient evidence on which to base amending item 5 of his DD Form 214. Therefore, these items should be corrected on his DD Form 214.

The evidence of record also shows this SSN was consistently recorded in the applicant's official military service records, including on his DD Form 214 when he was discharged. However, considering all the evidence and information presented by the applicant together with the evidence of record, applicable law, and regulations, the evidence provided by the applicant relating to his SSN is insufficient to warrant a change to his military service records and separation document. The...

APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his rank, pay grade, and social security account number (SSAN) listed on his separation document (DD Form 214) be corrected. EVIDENCE OF RECORD : The applicant's military records show: 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.

The evidence of record shows that the applicant correctly reported his SSN upon entry into the U.S. Army on 7 February 1967. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant's DD Form 214 to show his correct SSN.

The applicant requests that his Social Security Account Number (SSAN) on his Honorable Discharge Certificate and discharge orders be corrected to reflect the number 0 in the fifth digit instead of the number 8 as currently reflected.

Accordingly, the applicants Honorable...

His record contains a DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) that does not list an SSAN because it was not used at the time. The applicant's DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record) prepared on 31 October 1966 upon his entry on active duty lists the SN he now claims is incorrect in item 1 (Name and Service Number). The evidence of record confirms the applicant was inducted into the Army and entered active duty on 25 October 1966, as evidence by the DD Form 47 on file.
