IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 1 July 2008
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20080006023
THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:
1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).
2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).
THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show a temporary duty assignment.
2. The applicant states that he was on temporary duty as a member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (Pistol Team) at Fort Benning, Georgia in 1987.
3. The applicant provides no evidence in support of his application.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. 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 also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicants 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. While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicants failure to timely file. In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.
2. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 9 October 1984. He served as a military police and was released from active duty on 8 October 1987.
3. There is no evidence of record which shows the applicant was on temporary duty to Fort Benning, Georgia in 1987.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations/Separation Forms) governed the preparation of the DD Form 214. There is no provision to show temporary duty assignments, or any assignment other than the unit of assignment upon separation, on the DD Form 214.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
Since there is no provision to show temporary duty assignments on the DD Form 214, there is no basis for granting the applicants request.
BOARD VOTE:
________ ________ ________ GRANT FULL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
__xxx___ __xxx___ __xxx___ 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.

The applicant states he served in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne in early 1963. The applicant's records clearly show that his statements are false; he never served in Vietnam and his only facial "wound" was a broken nose suffered in a fist fight at Fort Campbell. 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.

There are no Special Orders in the applicants record that show he was promoted to SGT/E-5. The evidence of record further shows that, during his service in the Republic of Vietnam, the applicant was issued an order awarding him an MOS that indicates he was appointed in a higher grade. In the absence of such orders and/or the authority for this promotion, there is insufficient evidence to grant the applicant the requested relief.
