                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS


      IN THE CASE OF:


      BOARD DATE:        19 July 2007
      DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20070001395


      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.

|     |Ms. Catherine C. Mitrano          |     |Director             |
|     |Ms. Loretta D. Gulley             |     |Analyst              |


      The following members, a quorum, were present:

|     |Mr. John T. Meixell               |     |Chairperson          |
|     |Mr. Robert J. Osborn              |     |Member               |
|     |Mr. Michael J. Flynn              |     |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 DD Form 214 (Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show that she still
requires dental services.

2.  The applicant states, in effect, that she is still in need of dental
services and was not aware that by marking Item 17 (Member was provided
complete dental examination and all appropriate dental services and
treatment within 90 days prior to separation) of the DD Form 214, “YES” the
Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) would not provide dental treatment.  The
applicant’s further states, in effect, that the dentist at Barquist Army
Dental Clinic annotated her dental records that further work was needed.

3.  The applicant provides a copy of her DD Form 214 in support of this
application.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 16 November 2000 for a
period of 6 years.  She successfully completed basic combat and advanced
individual training and was awarded the military occupational specialty
(MOS) 68K, Medical Laboratory Specialist.

2.  The applicant was honorably discharge from active duty on 15 November
2006 in the grade of Specialist (SP4/E-4).  On her discharge from active
duty, the applicant had completed 6 years of active service.

3.  The applicant's DD Form 214, shows a response of "YES" for the
statement in Item 17 (Member was provided a complete dental exam and all
appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 days prior to
separation).  The applicant signed her DD Form 214 attesting to its
accuracy.

4.  Army Regulation 635-5 establishes the policies and provisions for the
completion and distribution of the DD Form 214.  It notes that Item 17 is
applicable to Soldiers who have completed at least 180 days of continuous
active service at the time of separation.





5.  If the Soldier had been provided a complete dental examination, and all
appropriate dental services and treatment had been completed within 90 days
prior to separation, the item is marked “YES.”  The information is obtained
by reviewing a Soldier’s SF 603 (Health Record-Dental) for the validity of
the examination and all appropriate treatment.  The information in Item 17
is intended to assist the DVA (Department of Veterans Affairs) in
determining whether a veteran is entitled to continued dental services/care
by that agency for dental defects that had not been completely corrected
prior to the individual’s separation from active duty.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant contends that her DD Form 214 should be corrected to show
she is authorized further dental treatment.

2.  Evidence of record shows the applicant received a complete dental
examination and all appropriate dental services and treatment within 90 day
of separation.  There is no evidence nor did she submit any evidence that
shows she still required dental services after her separation from active
duty.  In the absence of such evidence, there is insufficient basis to
correct the applicant’s record in this case.

3.  In order to justify correction of a military record, the applicant must
show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily
appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to
submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.

BOARD VOTE:

________  ________  ________  GRANT FULL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

__JTM__  ___RJO __  __MJF___  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.
