                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS


      IN THE CASE OF:


      BOARD DATE:          19 AUGUST 2004
      DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2004100063


      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 Eichorn                  |     |Chairperson          |
|     |Mr. Curtis Greenway               |     |Member               |
|     |Mr. William Powers                |     |Member               |

      The Board considered the following evidence:

      Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records.

      Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including advisory opinion,
if any).

THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests that his August 2003 Department of Defense Form
214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to
show that he was not provided a complete dental exam and all appropriate
dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to his separation.
 
2.  The applicant states, in effect, that item 17 of his DD Form 214 was
incorrectly marked, "Yes."  He notes that while he received a dental
examination; however, further treatment was identified and needed.
 
3.  The applicant provides a copy of her DD Form 214 and a copy of a dental
record (Standard Form 603A).

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant's separation document shows that he was discharged on 31
August 2003 with sufficient service for retirement.  Item 17 of his DD Form
214 indicates that he was provided a dental examination and appropriate
dental services and treatment within 90 days of his separation.
 
2.  Standard Form 603A shows that, while he did receive a dental
examination in July 2003, and follow-up treatment in August, September and
October, the last entry in October notes that the applicant was to see the
Department of Veterans Affairs for continued treatment.  The entry
indicates that all appropriate dental services and treatment were not
completed within 90 days of his separation.
 
3.  Army Regulation 635-5 establishes the policies and provisions for the
completion and distribution of the DD Form 214.  It notes that item 17 is
applicable to soldiers who have completed at least 180 days of continuous
active service at the time of separation.  If the soldier had been provided
a complete dental examination, and all appropriate dental services and
treatment had been completed within 90 days prior to separation, the item
is marked “yes.”  The information is obtained by reviewing a soldier’s SF
603 (Health Record-Dental) for validity of exam and all appropriate
treatment.  The information in item 17 is intended to assist the DVA
(Department of Veterans Affairs) in determining whether a veteran is
entitled to continued dental services/care by that agency for dental
defects that had not been completely corrected prior to the individual’s
separation from active duty.



DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant's contention is accepted.  Evidence shows that he was not
provided all of the necessary dental treatment and services within 90 days
of his discharge.
 
2.  Consequently, his 31 August 2003 separation document should be
corrected to show that he was not provided a complete dental exam and all
appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to
separation.

BOARD VOTE:

___FE __  ___CG __  ___WP__  GRANT FULL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

________  ________  ________  DENY APPLICATION

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant
a recommendation of relief.  As a result, the Board recommends that all
Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by
showing that he was not provided a complete dental exam and all appropriate
dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to separation.
