RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 1 August 2006
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20050017375
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. Maria C. Sanchez | |Analyst |
The following members, a quorum, were present:
| |Ms. Kathleen A. Newman | |Chairperson |
| |Mr. Conrad V. Meyer | |Member |
| |Ms. Yolanda Maldonado | |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, correction of his separation code on
his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to
show "JBM" instead of "KBM."
2. The applicant states, in effect, that an administrative error occurred
during the preparation of his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214 and Department of the
Army Detachment A of the 203d Personnel Services Battalion [Fort
Wainwright, Alaska] Orders Number 026-0211, dated 26 January 2005 in
support of his application.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 31 October 1990 for a
period of three years. After he completed basic and advanced individual
training, he was awarded military occupational specialty 92A (Automated
Logistical Specialist). The applicant continued to serve through a series
of reenlistments until he was honorably discharged on 24 June 2005.
2. Item 25 (Separation Authority) of the applicant's DD Form 214 shows the
entry "AR 635-200, PARA 16-7" [Army Regulation 635-200 (Active Duty
Enlisted Administrative Separations), paragraph 16-7]. Item 26 (Separation
Code) of this form shows the entry "KBM."
3. Army Regulation 635-5-1 (Separation Program Designator (SPD) Codes)
provides the specific authorities (regulatory or directive), reasons for
separating Soldiers from active duty, and the SPD codes to be entered on
the DD Form 214. It states, in pertinent part, that the SPD code of JBM is
the appropriate code to assign to Soldiers who were separated under the
provisions of paragraph 16-7, Army Regulation 635-200, by reason of
Insufficient Retainability (economic reasons). The SPD/RE Code Cross
Reference Table included in the regulation stipulates that the RE code
assignment is based on the Department of the Army directive authorizing
separation.
4. Army Regulation 635-5-1 also shows that the SPD code of KBM is the
appropriate code to assign to Soldiers who separated under the provisions
of paragraph 16-5, Army Regulation 635-200, by reason of Insufficient
Retainability (economic reasons).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant contends that the SPD code on his DD Form 214 should be
JBM.
2. Evidence shows the applicant was separated under the provisions of
paragraph 16-7 of Army Regulation 635-200 for Insufficient Retainability
(economic reasons). Regulation shows the proper SPD code for this
separation authority is "JBM", not "KBM."
3. Clearly an administrative error occurred in the preparation of the
applicant's separation document; therefore, he is entitled to correction of
his DD Form 214 to show the SPD code of "JBM."
BOARD VOTE:
_CVM____ _YM__ __KAN___ 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 all
Department of the Army records of the individual concerned by correcting
item 26 (Separation Code) of his DD Form 214 to show the entry "JBM."

His DD Form 214 indicates that he was discharged under the provisions of Chapter 6, Paragraph 16-6, AR 635-200 by reason of insufficient retainability (economic reasons), with a characterization of service of honorable, with a separation code of JBM, and an RE code of 3. b.

The record shows that the applicant was in Germany when her separation orders were published. She was also assigned a reentry eligibility (RE) code of RE-2 (Persons separated for the Convenience of the Government, under chapter 5 of Army Regulation 635-200, whose reenlistment is not contemplated). A soldier enlisted or ordered to active duty normally will be discharged or released from active duty on the date he or she completes the period for which enlisted or ordered to active duty.

He did not serve 12 years of active duty without being promoted and should not have been forced to separate. The Board notes the applicant’s RE code is incorrect and will be administratively corrected to reflect a code of 4D “Grade is senior airman or sergeant, completed at least nine years TAFMS, but fewer than 16 years TAFMS, and has not been selected for promotion to staff sergeant.” After careful consideration of the available evidence, the Board found no indication that the actions...

The applicant requests, in effect, that item 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be changed to "honorable-erroneous." Item 24a (Military Service) of his DD Form 1966/2 (Application for Enlistment-Armed Forces of the United States) shows that he failed to disclose/reveal his prior active duty service in the Marine Corps. The Board reviewed the applicant's personnel service records and determined his separation under...
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C). T h e advisory opinion was forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). Applicant's response to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit E. After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2005 | 20050001683C070206
The separation document (DD Form 214) issued to the applicant upon his discharge on 25 February 1993 confirms that the authority for his separation was Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 16-8 and that the narrative reason for his separation was authorized strength-qualitative early retention program. Pertinent Army regulations provide that prior to discharge or release from active duty, individuals will be assigned RE codes, based on their service records or the reason for discharge. In...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2005 | 20050001683C070206
The applicant provides a copy of his Certificate Of Release Or Discharge From Active Duty (DD Form 214), a list of military reenlistment eligibility codes and its definition copy a of the regulation stating JCC (Early Release – Reduction in authorized strength), rather than Narrative for QMP. Pertinent Army regulations provide that prior to discharge or release from active duty, individuals will be assigned RE codes, based on their service records or the reason for discharge. However,...

He further states that on the date of his separation he had completed his full enlistment and should have received an appropriate RE code. However, the evidence of record does include a properly constituted DD Form 214 that confirms that the applicant was discharged under the provisions of paragraph 4-24b(3), Army Regulation 635-40, for physical disability with severance pay, and the Board presumes government regularity in his separation processing. Further, the evidence of record confirms...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060014916C071113
John G. Heck | |Member | The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. This document also confirms that based on the authority and reason for his separation, he was assigned a Separation Program Designator (SPD) code of JCC and an RE code of RE-4. Pertinent Army regulations provide that prior to discharge or release from active duty, individuals will be assigned RE codes, based on their service records or the reason for discharge.
