Acting Director
Mr. Michael J. Fowler

The following members, a quorum, were present:

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 correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) with the ending period 12 March 1968 to show his correct social security number (SSN). He further requests that the home of record at the time of entry into active duty service be corrected on his DD Form 214.
2. The applicant states, in effect, that the SSN on his DD Form 214 is incorrect and that the home of record at the time of entry into active duty service should be corrected to show Route 1, Box 99 Double Churches Road, Fortson, Georgia, on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides his DD Form 214 and a copy of his social security card.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant is requesting correction of an alleged error which occurred on 12 March 1968. The application submitted in this case is dated 12 August 2006.
2. Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice. This provision of law allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse failure to file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines that it would be in the interest of justice to do so. In this case, the ABCMR will conduct a review of the merits of the case to determine if it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the applicants failure to timely file.
3. The applicant was inducted into the Army on 29 March 1966. He successfully completed basic training and advanced individual training and was awarded military occupational specialty 11C (Infantry Indirect Fire Crewman).
4. Item 3 (Social Security Number) of the applicant's DD Form 214 shows the last four digits of his SSN as "8714" and item 21 (Home of Record at the Time of Entry into Active Service) shows the entry "RT 1 BOX 99 DOUBLE DUCHESS RD FORTSON GA."
5. Item 9 (Social Security Number) of the applicants DA Form 41 (Record of Emergency Data) dated 3 September 1967 shows the last four digits of his SSN as 8174.
6. Item 3 (Home of Record) of the applicant's DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) shows the entry "Rt 1, Box 99 Double Churches Rd. Fortson, Ga." Item 9.a (Present Civilian Trade or Occupation) shows the last four digits of his SSN as 8174.
7. The applicant submitted his social security card that shows the last four digits of his SSN as 8174.
8. Office of The Adjutant General, U.S. Army Reserve Components and Administration Center Letter Orders Number 02-1071119, dated 23 February 1972 shows the last four digits of the applicant's SSN as 8174.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's DD Form 214 with the period ending 12 March 1968 erroneously shows the last four digits of his SSN as 8714. The applicant's DA Form 41, DD Form 47, Letter Orders, and social security card confirm that his DD Form 214 is incorrect and should be corrected to reflect the last four digits of his SSN as 8174.
2. Item 21 of the applicant's DD Form 214 erroneously shows his home of record as Rt 1, Box 99 Double Duchess Road, Fortson, GA. His DD Form 47 confirms that his home of record is incorrect and should be corrected to reflect Rt 1, Box 99 Double Churches Road, Fortson, GA.
3. Records show the applicant should have discovered the alleged error or injustice now under consideration on 12 March 1968; therefore, the time for the applicant to file a request for correction of any error or injustice expired on
11 March 1971. The applicant did not file within the 3-year statute of limitations; however, based on the available eividence, it would be in the interest of justice to excuse failure to timely file in this case.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief and to excuse failure to timely file. As a result, the Board recommends that item 3 of the applicant's DD Form 214 be corrected to show the last four digits of his SSN as 8174 and item 21 be corrected to show his home of record as Rt 1, Box 99 Double Churches Road, Fortson, GA.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of the social security number (SSN) shown in Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) ending on 14 November 1967.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120004860

The applicant requests the last four digits of his social security number (SSN) be changed to 9102 on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) with an effective date of 28 April 1968. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support changing item 3 of his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as indicated on the SSN printout from the Social Security...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110002576
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show the last four digits of his social security number (SSN) as "6558" instead of "6668." DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record shows, during his military service, the applicant used a SSN that contains the number "6558" in the last four digits. _______ _ X_______ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the...

This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so. A DD Form 1584 (National Agency Check Request), dated 15 April 1969, shows "6892" as the last four digits of his SSN. _______ _ X______ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110021018
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show "0622" as the last four digits of his social security number (SSN), instead of "2600." The evidence of record shows he incorrectly listed his SSN prior to his induction and this is the SSN which was used for the remainder of his active duty service; however, an official...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120006829
The applicant requests his social security number (SSN) be corrected on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) with an effective date of 11 April 1968. Documents throughout his Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ) identify him using his military service number. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), in effect at the time, stated the SSN in item 3 of the DD Form 214 would be transcribed from the Soldier's DA Form 2139.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080012181
The DD Form 214 issued to him at that time contains the number 5 as the last digit of his SSN. The evidence of record confirms the SSN under which the applicant entered active duty and under which he performed his active duty service contains the number 5 as the last digit, and not the number 9 as listed on his BSM order, certificate, and citation. The SSN entered on the DD Form 47 prepared on him during induction, the DA Form 20 prepared on him upon his entry on active duty, and the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130018680
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show the last four digits of his social security number (SSN) as "6250" instead of "5260." However, it also contains a DD Form 47 (Record of Induction), DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), DD Form 1584 (National Agency Check Request), and a DA Form 20...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100022954
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140001982
The applicant states the SSN shown on his DD Form 214 is incorrect; the last two digits are reversed. His DD Form 47 (Record of Induction), dated 8 February 1968, shows his SSN with the last two digits as 43. It would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as it is shown on his DD Form 47.
