RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 15 February 2005
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20040003642
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 |
| |Mr. Joseph A. Adriance | |Analyst |
The following members, a quorum, were present:
| |Mr. Jennifer L. Prater | |Chairperson |
| |Mr. Thomas A. Pagan | |Member |
| |Mr. Kenneth W. Lapin | |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, in effect, reconsideration of her request that
her name be removed from the title block of a Criminal Investigation
Division (CID) Reports of Investigation (ROI), dated 28 September 1999 and
26 January 2000 and a Military Police Report (MPR), dated. 7 May 1999.
2. The applicant states, in effect, that the alleged incidents that
resulted in her being titled by the CID were false and unsubstantiated.
She claims the larceny at Fort Sill, Oklahoma did occur over 15 years ago
and her personal record had been excellent since that time. She states
that she deserves the right to have a normal life without being marked as a
terrorist in these times. She indicates she is providing proof that the
allegations were not justified and that she has tried to be a better
person. She concludes by indicating that she just wants the opportunity to
be able to take care of her children without assistance.
3. The applicant provides the following documents in support of her
application: Self-Authored Statement, Medical Records, Counseling
Statements, Unit Director Statement and Recommendations Letters.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Incorporated herein by reference are military records that were
summarized in the previous consideration of the applicant's case by the
Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) in Docket Number
AR2002081776 on
4 September 2003.
2. The record shows the applicant was a subject of a 7 May 1999 MPR for
the offense of making terrorist threats. The applicant voluntarily made a
statement admitting to the threats, but indicted they were directed towards
only one individual.
3. The record also shows the applicant was titled on a 28 September 1999
CID ROI for false swearing, making a false official statement, and
insurance fraud. The applicant admitted to filing a false insurance claim
with State Farm Insurance Company.
4. The record further shows that on 26 January 2000 the applicant was
titled on a CID ROI for altering a public record, making a false statement
and obtaining services under false pretenses.
5. During its original review of the case, the Board found the applicant
failed to submit sufficient evidence to show the record was in error or
unjust. It concluded that while the applicant’s claim of harassment was
substantiated, there was no connection between that issue and the applicant
being the subject of the MPR and CID ROIs in question.
6. The applicant provides, as new evidence, several documents that she
claims proves harassment. A notice of termination from the Department of
Air Force based on derogatory information on file that she claims proves
she was denied employment and several letters of recommendation and
commendation that she claims proves her real character.
7. Department of Defense Instructions (DODI) 5505.7 contains the authority
and criteria for titling decisions. It states, in pertinent part, that
titling only requires credible information that an offense may have been
committed. It further indicates that regardless of the characterization of
the offense as founded, unfounded, or insufficient evidence, the only way
to administratively remove a titling action from the Defense Central
Investigations Index (DCII) is to show either mistaken identity or a
complete lack of credible evidence to dispute the initial titling
determination.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The new evidence and argument provided by the applicant was carefully
considered. However, the issues raised by the applicant are not
sufficiently mitigating to support an amendment to the original Board
decision in this case.
2. By regulation, the only way to administratively remove a titling action
is to show either mistaken identity or a complete lack of credible evidence
to dispute the initial titling determination. The evidence of record
confirms there was more than sufficient probable cause to support the
titling actions on the applicant. Further, the applicant admitted to many
of the offenses for which she was titled. Therefore, it is clear the
regulatory criteria to remove a titling action has not been satisfied in
this case.
BOARD VOTE:
________ ________ ________ GRANT FULL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
___JLP__ ___TAP _ ___KWL_ DENY APPLICATION
BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The evidence presented does not demonstrate the existence of a probable
error or injustice. Therefore, the Board determined that the overall
merits of this case are insufficient as a basis to amend the decision of
the ABCMR set forth in Docket Number AR2002081776, dated 4 September 2003.

The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. APPLICANT STATES : In effect, the allegations made against her at Fort Sam Houston are unsubstantiated and false. When the applicant has established that she has been harmed, the Board first looks at whether it can rectify the injustice by correcting the records related to the outcome of the titling, instead of reversing the titling decision.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002072242C070403
The CIC opinion further states that the subsequent supplemental report characterizing the offenses of adultery, sodomy, and violation of a general order or regulation as having “insufficient evidence” does not warrant removal of the applicant’s name from the title block of the original ROI. The Board notes the applicant’s claim that her name should be removed from the title block of CID investigation number # 97-CID112-59583, from the DCII, and from any other records reflecting the titling...

Counsel requests removal of the applicant's name from the title block of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) Report of Investigation (ROI) 062-06-CID-25-70XXX, dated 27 September 2006, and reflecting the allegations of sexual harassment and indecent assault as "not founded." On 22 July 2008, a memorandum for record was received from the U.S. Army Criminal Records Center stating that after a review by higher headquarters, credible information existed to index the applicant as...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2007 | 20070017549
The applicant requests, in effect, that her record be corrected by removing her name from the titling block of a U. S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC, also known as CID) Report of Investigation (ROI). The applicant continuously served in the Army until she was honorably released from active duty by reason of completion of required service on 19 June 2006. By law and regulation, titling only requires credible information that an offense may have been committed.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002080140C070215
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: Although the applicant’s former battalion commander elected not to take action based on the findings and conclusions of the Article 32 investigation he had initiated, this factor alone does not provide a sufficient evidentiary basis to support removing the applicant’s name from the title block of the CID...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100017409
Counsel requests the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC, also referred to simply as CID) Report of Investigation (ROI) for rape be expunged from the applicant's records. The entire military record does not contain any other statements by 2 privates that the female private disclosed the alleged rape events to them on 14 January 2001. A subsequent investigation did not establish sufficient evidence to prove or disprove the private's allegations that the applicant raped her.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120019169
The applicant requests removal of the charge of rape from the titling block of a U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC, also known as CID) Report of Investigation (ROI) XXXX-XX-CIDXXX-146604. A memorandum from the Director, Crime Records Center, USACIDC, dated 18 July 2012, subject: Request for Amendment of Record (Applicant), stated that after carefully considering the request and the evidence available, action officers agree correction should be made to the applicant's ROI. ...

COUNSEL'S REQUEST, STATEMENT AND EVIDENCE: 1. He claims a recent decision by the Army Discharge Review Board (ADRB) determined the applicant did not commit these offenses. Counsel states that the titling action involved allegations that the applicant attempted to submit a false claim for damage to his boat and privately owed vehicle (POV).
ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002083222C070215
The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein. At the time, they were informed that the incident would remain in their record for five years, provided there were no further incidents. The evidence of record confirms that the results of a CID investigation provided a sufficient legal basis for the subjects to be titled.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140014461
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant requests removal of his name from the title block of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) Report of Investigation (ROI) 08-CID446-XXXX4-6EX, dated 8 October 2008.
