      BOARD DATE:            17 August 2004
      DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2004100822


      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             |
|     |Mrs. Nancy L. Amos                |     |Analyst              |


      The following members, a quorum, were present:

|     |Ms. Shirley Powell                |     |Chairperson          |
|     |Mr. Robert J. Osborn              |     |Member               |
|     |Ms. Eloise c. Prendergast         |     |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 DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United
States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be further amended, in the Remarks
section, to show he was released from active duty for training on 4
September 1963, then served on active duty until 26 October 1963, and then
was returned to State control.

2.  The applicant states that, per his original request, his DD Form 214
was amended to show he completed the Personnel Administrative Specialist
Course on 4 September 1963.  However, he continued to serve on active duty,
not in a training status, until 26 October 1963.  If the requested
correction is not made the Department of Veterans Affairs might determine
that he is ineligible for medical benefits.

3.  The applicant provides his DD Form 214; DD Form 215 (Correction to DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty); and his
original Board case (docket number AR2002078483 dated on 23 January 2003).

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant's military personnel records were not available to the
Board.  Information contained herein was obtained from reconstructed
records.

2.  The applicant was a member of the Army National Guard when he was
ordered to active duty on 27 April 1963 for the purpose of undergoing basic
and advanced individual training.  He completed the Personnel
Administrative Specialist Course on 4 September 1963.

3.  The applicant's available records contained a letter of appreciation
dated       25 October 1963.  The letter was for the contribution he made,
as a personnel clerk, to the successful and efficient operation of the
Reserve Forces Separation Section.

4.  The applicant was released from active duty on 26 October 1963.  His
     DD Form 214 did not show he completed the Personnel Administrative
Specialist Course.  Item 32 (Remarks) of his DD Form 214 contained the
entry, "REF:  ITEM 11a:  REL FROM ACDUTRA AND RETURNED TO STATE CONTROL AS
A MEMBER OF NATIONAL GUARD OF ILLINOIS TO COMPLETE REMAINING SERVICE
OBLIGATION OF 5 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS."

5.  Per the applicant's original request, his DD Form 214 was amended to
show he completed the Personnel Administrative Specialist Course from 27
June through 4 September 1963 at the U. S. Army Training Center Armor Fort
Knox, KY.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

The available evidence of record shows the applicant completed training on
       4 September 1963 and continued to serve on active duty, not in a
training status, until he separated on 26 October 1963.  It would be
equitable to amend the Remarks section of his DD Form 214 to accurately
reflect his duty status from      5 September through 26 October 1963.

BOARD VOTE:

__sp____  _rjo____  _ecp____  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 for relief.  As a result, the Board recommends that the DD
Form 214 of the individual concerned be further corrected by:

     a.  deleting the entry, "REF:  ITEM 11a:  REL FROM ACDUTRA AND
RETURNED TO STATE CONTROL AS A MEMBER OF NATIONAL GUARD OF ILLINOIS TO
COMPLETE REMAINING SERVICE OBLIGATION OF 5 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS"  from the
Remarks section; and

     b.  adding the entry, "REF:  ITEM 11a:  REL FROM ACDUTRA ON
     4 SEPTEMBER 1963, SERVED ON ACTIVE DUTY FROM 5 SEPEMBER THROUGH 26
OCTOBER 1963, AND RETURNED TO STATE CONTROL AS A MEMBER OF NATIONAL GUARD
OF ILLINOIS TO COMPLETE REMAINING SERVICE OBLIGATION OF 5 YEARS AND 2
MONTHS."

    The applicant's military service records contain a DD Form 214, with an effective date of 20 October 1969. The applicant contends, in effect, that his DD Form 214, with an effective date of 20 October 1969, should be corrected to show he was ordered to active duty rather than ordered to active duty for training. However, the evidence of record shows that this service is not accurately recorded on the applicant's DD Form 214, with an effective date of 20 October 1969.

    The evidence of record also shows that the applicant was issued a DD Form 214 by the U.S. Army, with an effective date of 18 April 1959, which officially documents this ACDUTRA. Therefore, the applicant's state Army National Guard Records and the applicant’s Department of the Army records should be corrected to show he completed his six months of active duty for training from 19 October 1958 through 18 April 1959. As a result, the Board recommends that the state Army National Guard records...

    This DD Form 214 shows the applicant was ordered to Active Duty for Training (ACDUTRA) for the period 3 April 1965 through 1 October 1965. Evidence of record shows the applicant already held the MOS 76D20 when he was involuntarily ordered to active duty. Therefore, the applicant is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214, in item 17a, to show he was on active duty for the period 26 August 1968 through 6 February 1970.
