Fort Gordon for advanced individual training (AIT). Upon successful
completion of AIT, he was awarded military occupational specialty 31L

8. Paragraph 1-18 of Army Regulation 600-8-22 states that only one

or period of meritorious service.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Orders show the applicant received five awards of the Army Achievement
Medal, two awards for achievement and three awards for meritorious service.
2. Since the second and third awards for meritorious service are for
overlapping dates of service, only one of these awards is valid in
accordance with the governing regulation. Therefore, the applicant is
entitled to one additional award of the Army Achievement Medal and
correction of his DD Form 214 to reflect a total of four awards of the Army
Achievement Medal.

JA______ ML______ TR______ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
________ ________ ________ DENY APPLICATION
BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
1. The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to

recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual
concerned be corrected by:
a. deleting the Army Achievement Medal (Third Award) from item 13 on
his DD Form 214; and
b. adding the Army Achievement Medal (Fourth Award) to item 13 on
his DD Form 214.
2. The Board further determined that the evidence presented is
insufficient to warrant a portion of the requested relief. As a result,
the Board recommends denial of so much of the application that pertains to
showing five awards of the Army Achievement Medal.
