.
BOARD DATE:
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20050015110
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. Rene’ R. Parker | |Analyst |
The following members, a quorum, were present:
| |Mr. Lester Echols | |Chairperson |
| |Mr. Patrick McGann | |Member |
| |Ms. Ernestine Fields | |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, that her name be changed from A------
- to
G----- on her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active
Duty).
2. The applicant states she was married on 11 August 2005.
3. The applicant provides a copy of her marriage license.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant’s records show she originally enlisted in the Army
National Guard on 30 November 1998. On 9 September 1999, she enlisted in
the Regular Army. She was released from active duty for the purpose of
disability retirement on 25 June 2005 and placed of the Temporary
Disability Retirement List.
2. The applicant provided a copy of her marriage certificate that verifies
she was married on 11 August 2005.
3. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) states, in pertinent part,
that the DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldier's most recent period of
continuous active duty. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active
duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or
discharge.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
Evidence of record shows that at the time the applicant was separated from
the Army on 25 June 2005, her last name was A-------. The applicant’s name
change did not occur until 45 days after she was issued her DD Form 214.
As cited in the above regulation, any changes to the applicant’s separation
document that occur after the date of release from active duty, retirement,
or discharge are not authorized to be reflected on this document.
Therefore, the name contained on the applicant’s DD Form 214 is correct as
constituted.
BOARD VOTE:
________ ________ ________ GRANT FULL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
____LE _ ___PM _ ___EF __ 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 last name shown on the DA Form 2166-7 is C*******d. It is apparent the applicant divorced and changed her last name; however, a review of her Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) failed to reveal documentary evidence of a legal name change and the reasons therefore. The evidence of records shows that on 25 October 1985, the applicant enlisted in the Army Reserve. On 26 November 1998, the applicant was provided a "Twenty Year Letter," which served as notice that she was eligible to...

The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The applicant states that “Sherman” was her name at the time she exited the military and that although she was married to Mr. Ralston at the time, she kept her maiden name. She states that she submitted a request to have her name changed to “Sherman” at the time she married Mr. Ralston, “but evidently it was not processed.” 3.

David Tucker | |Member | The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. Public Law 99-661, dated 14 November 1986, permitted divorce courts to order SBP coverage (without the member’s agreement) in those cases where the member was participating in the SBP or was still on active duty and had not yet made an SBP election. The military records at DFAS verify that the FSM’s widow, T______, is receiving the SBP annuity.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060000071C070205
The applicant states, in effect, that item 1 and item 12a, of her DD Form 214, are incorrect. The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the US Army Reserve (USAR) on 2 August 1973, for 3 years, with no prior military service, under the last name of J______. The evidence of record shows that the applicant entered AD on 6 August 1973 and continued to serve until she was honorably discharged on 28 October 1976, which consist of 3 years, 2 months, and 23 days, of active duty service.

LaVerne M. Douglas | |Member | The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The evidence of record in this case confirms the FSM completed a DD Form 1883 declining enrollment in the SBP on 17 January 1974, during his retirement processing. Because the FSM was married and yet declined SBP enrollment at the time of his retirement, he was no longer eligible to participate in the SBP at the time he and the applicant entered into their...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2001 | 2001054868C070420
APPLICANT STATES : That she was denied SBP benefits because she was not married to the deceased former service member (FSM) for 1 year prior to his death. She further states that she should be granted SBP benefits because she lived with the FSM for 2 years before they were married. The applicant has failed to show through the evidence of record or the evidence submitted with her application that such was the case.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060012285
The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The applicant provides the following in support of this application: a. a letter, dated 31 March 2006, from the Transitions and Separations Branch of the United States Army Human Resources Command, St. Louis, Missouri; b. the FSMs DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty); c. the FSMs death certificate and supplemental report of cause of death; d. orders...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060003265C070205
She states that they were legally separated on 7 November 1977 and the decision to conclude with a divorce was made in March 1980 prior to the FSM’s retirement. He should not have been paying SBP premiums from on or about 10 June 1980, when they divorced, until 24 September 1983, when former spouse coverage for retired members was established. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: a. showing the FSM had...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080016631
The military documents that are on file in the applicants Official Military Personnel File show that the applicant served under the surname G - - - s up until her release from active duty in 1999. The evidence shows the applicant enlisted in the USAR and entered on active duty in 1980 and 1988, respectively, under the surname of Y - - - g. In reviewing the available record, it appears the applicant was subsequently married and began using the surname of Y - - - g-O - - - s. In October...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2004 | 2004105293C070208
The applicant requests that her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to reflect her maiden name and to show the correct amount that she received in disability severance pay. There is no evidence, and the applicant has not provided any to show the amount of disability severance pay that she states that she did receive. Therefore, her request to correct her record to show some other amount is not granted.
