12. The applicant states that the original ABCMR decision stated that it appears that he was transferred to Germany, where he served for 11 months and 4 days.

13. The evidence submitted consists of a DA Form 313 (U.S. Government Operators Permit), dated 26 May 1954; copies of the Haan Pipe newsletter, dated, 10 and 11 April 1953, and pictures of a U.S. Navy vessel.

ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
5. At the time of the decision of the ABCMR in Docket Number AR20060010030, dated 27 February 2007, it was the intent of the ABCMR to make the applicants service records as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time.
6. The ABCMR's decision in Docket Number AR20060010030, dated 27 February 2007, erroneously showed the applicant was transferred to Germany, where he served for 11 months and 4 days in paragraph 5 of the Consideration of Evidence.
