MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION


         IN THE CASE OF:


         BOARD DATE: 30 SEPTEMBER 2003
         DOCKET NUMBER: AR2003088521

         I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

Mr. Carl W. S. Chun Director
Ms. Gale J. Thomas Analyst


The following members, a quorum, were present:

Mr. Raymond J. Wagner Chairperson
Mr. Melvin H. Meyer Member
Ms. Margaret V. Thompson Member

         The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date. In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

         The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

         The Board considered the following evidence:

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


APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his records be corrected by changing his social security account number (SSAN) and his first and middle name.

APPLICANT STATES: That his SSAN should read ____, and not
_____, and his name should read ____, and not _____. In support of his request the applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge), and Form SSA-2458 (Report of Confidential Social Security Benefit Information) from the Social Security Administration.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:

He was inducted into the Army of the United States on 24 July 1969, for a period of 2 years. He served in Vietnam from February 1970 to March 1971.

The applicant was inducted into the Army under the name of _____. Documents in the applicant’s records, to include his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) were signed by the applicant as “______.”

At the time of the applicant’s induction, the Army was using military service number (MSN) and not social security account number. The applicant was assigned the MSN _____.

Effective 1 July 1969, the Department of Defense directed that the military service number would be replaced by the member’s social security account number.

The applicant was notified by the U.S. Army Administration Center, St. Louis, Missouri, that his personnel records failed to reveal his SSAN, and requested that one be provided to them. An annotation on a request for his SSAN shows that ____ had been coded into the system as his SSAN.

On 14 March 1971, the applicant was honorably discharged under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, for early separation of overseas returnees. His DD Form 214 Indicates he had 1 year, 7 months and 3 days of creditable service, and was separated under the name of _____, and the SSAN of ______. The applicant authenticated his DD Form 214 with his signature.

On 29 March 1972, after the sixth request, the applicant submitted his SSAN of
_____, to the U.S. Army Reserve Components Personnel and Administration Center. His SSAN was coded into the system on 3 August 1972.



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. Evidence shows the applicant was inducted into the Army under the name of ______, and used this name through out his military service. There is no evidence or documentation that shows he used the name of ______.

2. Evidence shows that the applicant’s military service number was used during his active duty military service. After a sixth request, the applicant submitted a social security account number, that was coded into the system on 3 August 1972. The applicant submits no documentation to show that he had been issued a social security account number prior to his separation from active duty.

3. 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 that requirement.

4. 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.

    Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 he was issued at the time shows his SSN as "939-XX-XXXX." He was identified with this TIN throughout his service and it was recorded on his DD Form 214 when he separated. In this case, based on the evidence of record and the evidence he submitted, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN.
