APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) be corrected to show his name as R-- H------- M----- instead of T----- D----- M-----.
APPLICANT STATES: In effect, that he and his brother used the same name and social security number (SSN) while serving in the military. The applicant states that he is submitting a copy of his Driver's License and a copy of his Social Security Card in support of his application. However, the Board noted that there were no attachments with his application.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
On 27 November 1974, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Army under the name of T----- D------ M-----, and SSN 2-- 9- 7---. The applicant was discharged from the Army on 20 May 1975 with an undesirable discharge under the same name and with the same social security number. He completed 3 months and
8 days of creditable active service and he had 76 days of lost time.
Throughout the applicant's official military record, it shows his name as T-----
D----- M----- his records also show his SSN as 2-- 9- 7---. His DA Form 4 (Enlistment Contract-Armed Forces of the United States) shows his name as
T----- D----- M----- and his SSN as 2-- 9- 7---.
The applicant's DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record) shows his name
as T----- D----- M----- and it shows his SSN as 2-- 9- 7---. The applicant reviewed and signed his DA Form 2-1 on 4 December 1974, certifying the correctness of the information.
The personnel records for the applicant's brother [identified as R-- H------- M-----] show the same SSN [2-- 9- 7---] as the applicant.
Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the separation documents prepared for soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. In pertinent part it states that the DD Form 214 is a synopsis of the soldier's most recent period of continuous active duty. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active Army service at the time of release from active duty, retirement or discharge.
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 evidence of record shows that the applicant enlisted in, served on and
was discharged under the name T----- D----- M----- and under the SSN of
2-- 9- 7---.
2. The evidence of record shows that the applicant signed official documents certifying his name as T----- D----- M----- and certifying his SSN as 2-- 9- 7---.
3. There is no evidence nor has the applicant provided any evidence that shows his name was R-- H------- M----- instead of T----- D----- M-----. Therefore, the Board finds no basis for changing the applicant's records to reflect a name other than T----- D----- M-----.
4. While the evidence of record shows that the applicant and his brother used the same SSN, there is no evidence that shows which person was actually assigned SSN 2-- 9- 7---.
5. In the absence of official documentation such as a statement from the Social Security Administration verifying which person was assigned SSN 2-- 9- 7--- and when it was assigned, the Board will not grant the relief requested.
6. 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.
7. 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.

The applicant requests that his records be corrected to show his social security number (SSN) is 484-XX-1382. The applicant states his SSN is 484-XX-1382 and his brothers SSN is 478-XX-7118. Since the evidence of record confirms the applicant has a brother using the same SSN of 478-XX-7118, it would be appropriate to correct his records to show his correct SSN of 484-XX-1382.

The DD Form 214 issued to the applicant on the date of his separation from the Army lists a SSN in addition to his service number. The listed SSN differs from the one recorded in the applicant’s social security card. The evidence of records confirms that his service number was recorded in the military documents prepared and published throughout his active duty service and that the only military record document that contains a SSN is the DD Form 214 issued to him upon his separation.
