                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS


      IN THE CASE OF:


      BOARD DATE:           28 September 2004
      DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2004100108


      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. Edmund P. Mercanti            |     |Analyst              |


      The following members, a quorum, were present:

|     |Mr. Fred N. Eichorn               |     |Chairperson          |
|     |Ms. Karen Y. Fletcher             |     |Member               |
|     |Mr. Ronald E. Blakely             |     |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 the corrected copy of his DA Form 1059,
Service School Academic Evaluation Report (AER), for the Army Medical
Department Noncommissioned Officer Basic Course (BNCOC) held from 11 July
to 27 August 2002, be substituted for the original now contained in his
Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).

2.  The applicant states the original DA Form 1059 did not reflect the fact
that he was given the Commandant’s Physical Fitness Certificate while
attending the course.  Since the award was mentioned in his Noncommissioned
Officer Evaluation Report (NCOER), he is concerned that the discrepancy may
adversely affect his chances for promotion.

3.  The applicant provides a print out of e-mails which show that he has
attempted to administratively have the AER in his OMPF replaced by the new
AER.

4.  The applicant also submits a copy of the “corrected” AER.  In item 16,
Comments, of the AER, it states, “Received the Commandant’s Physical
Fitness Certificate for attaining 291 on the Army Physical Fitness Test.”
The applicant also submits a copy of the certificate referenced in the
“corrected” AER.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army in pay grade E-4 on 13 May
1994.  He was promoted to pay grade E-6 and awarded the military
occupational specialty of senior dental sergeant.

2.  The applicant was given an AER for his attendance at the Army Medical
Department BNCOC held from 11 July to 27 August 2002.  This AER does not
mention the applicant being given the Commandant’s Physical Fitness
Certificate while attending the course.  This AER is filed in the
applicant’s OMPF.

3.  On 4 April 2003, the applicant was given an NCOER for the period
covering April 2002 through March 2003.  That NCOER does not contain any
comment on the applicant being given the Commandant’s Physical Fitness
Certificate while attending BNCOC.  The report does mention that the
applicant scored 291 points on the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) during
that rating period.

4.  A review of the applicant’s performance fiche in his OMPF shows that,
with the exception of his first three NCOERs, his APFT score has been
recorded on all of his NCOERs.

5.  AR 623-1 prescribes the policy on AER’s.  Paragraph 1-11 of this
regulation states that only enclosures authorized in this regulation will
be submitted with an academic report.  The items below will not be
included.

      a. letters of appreciation;

      b. letters of commendation;

      c. certificates of achievement;

      d. recommendation for awards; and

      e. records of punishment under Article 15, Uniform Code of
Military Justice.

6.  Paragraph 1–12, Submission of an addendum, states that if the rating
officials become aware of information that would have resulted in a lower
evaluation of the rated individual they will submit an addendum to the
previous report and refer it to the student for comments/acknowledgment.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  It is unclear how the altered AER came into being.  The altered AER is
not marked as a corrected copy.

2.  Statements concerning certificates of achievement given during a class
are not required to be entered in an AER.  To the contrary, certificates of
achievement are prohibited to be submitted with an AER.

3.  There are no provisions to place an addendum with an AER, unless it is
to record adverse information.

4.  Contrary to the applicant’s statement, there is no mention of a
certificate of achievement for his APFT on the NCOER covering the period in
question.  While his APFT score is recorded on that NCOER, his APFT score
is recorded on all but his first three NCOERs.  Therefore, there is no
disparity between the applicant’s NCOER and his AER.

BOARD VOTE:

________  ________  ________  GRANT FULL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

____fne _  ____reb _  ___kyf ___  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 for correction of the
records of the individual concerned.

    The ESRB opined that the applicant did not meet the entry requirements for the course because he failed the APFT (2-mile run) due to an injury. Given the evidence in this case, the Board finds that the applicant should have been released from the course for medical reasons that occurred through no fault of his own and that any AER that was issued should have accurately reflected the events that occurred in his case. This is further supported by the fact that the applicant has always...
