      BOARD DATE:            03 OCTOBER 2006
      DOCKET NUMBER:   AR20060004649


      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. Deyon D. Battle               |     |Analyst              |


      The following members, a quorum, were present:

|     |Mr. Kenneth L. Wright             |     |Chairperson          |
|     |Mr. Thomas M. Ray                 |     |Member               |
|     |Ms. Sherry J. Stone               |     |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 Certificate of Release or Discharge
From Active Duty (DD Form 214) be corrected to show that he served in the
Army in a light wheel vehicle mechanic (63B1O) Military Occupational
Specialty (MOS).

2.  The applicant states that his DD Form 214 erroneously shows that he
served in a track vehicle repairer (63H1O) MOS.

3.  The applicant provides in support of his application, a copy of his
Ordnance Center and School Diploma which indicates that he successfully
fulfilled all requirements of the course and was awarded a wheel vehicle
repairer (63W1O) MOS.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  On 20 November 1993, the applicant enlisted in the United States Army
Reserve (USAR) for 8 years, in the pay grade of E-1.  He enlisted in the
Regular Army on 28 December 1993.  His enlistment contract shows a Training
Enlistment Program Option of 63W1O and he was assured of attending a school
course for MOS 63W1O.

2.  On 14 June 1994, the applicant successfully fulfilled all requirements
of the Ordnance Center and School, and he was furnished a diploma and
declared an honor graduate as a wheel vehicle repairer.

3.  A review of the available records indicate that the applicant served in
a 63W1O MOS until he was honorably released from active duty on 21 May
2005, upon completion of his required service.  The DD Form 214 that he was
furnished at the time of his release from active duty shows his MOS as
63H1O.

4.  DA Pamphlet XXI, dated 5 September 2006, contains the United States
Human Resource Command, Enlisted MOS Conversion Chart.  The conversion
chart indicates that as of 1 January 2005, the 63W1O MOS converted to
63B1O.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  An error was made during the preparation of the applicant's DD Form 214
which resulted in the incorrect MOS being reflected.



2.  There is no evidence in the available records that shows that the
applicant ever served in a 63H1O MOS while he was in the Army.  The
evidence of record clearly shows that he served in a 63W1O MOS while he was
on active duty in the Army.

3.  However, in accordance with Department of the Army Pamphlet XXI, as of
1 January 2005, the 63W1O MOS converted to a 63B1O MOS prior to his release
from active duty.  Therefore, 63B1O should have been annotated on his DD
Form 214 at the time of his release from active duty.

4.  In view of the foregoing, it would now be appropriate to correct the
applicant's records as indicated below.

BOARD VOTE:

___KW__  ___TR __  ___SS __  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 be corrected by
amending his DD Form 214 to show that he served in a light wheel vehicle
mechanic (63B1O) MOS.

    The applicant requests promotion to the pay grade of E-5. Although not specified in the available records, it appears that the orders promoting the applicant to the pay grade of E-5 were erroneously published as they showed that he was being promoted in the primary MOS of 25U2O (Signal Support Systems Specialist). While it is regrettable that the applicant’s promotion was revoked, the orders clearly state that the promotion was not valid if he was not in a promotable status and it shows...
