IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 17 February 2010
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090011519
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 that his 25 January 2008 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show the date he separated from active duty as 25 January 2009.
2. The applicant states that his separation orders show the correct date of his separation.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his separation orders.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 6 July 2005.
2. Installation Management Command-Europe Orders 242-04, dated 29 August 2008, released the applicant from active duty effective on 25 January 2009.
3. Item 12a (Date Entered Active Duty This Period) of the applicant's DD Form 214 shows 6 July 2005 and item 12b (Separation Date This Period) shows 25 January 2008. Item 12c (Net Active Service This Period) shows 3 years, 6 months, and 20 days.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations) establishes standardized procedures for preparation and distribution of the DD Form 214. The regulation states, in pertinent part, to enter in item 12b the Soldier's transition date. In item 12c enter the amount of service this period computed by subtracting item 12a from item 12b.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
It is apparent that an administrative error occurred in the preparation of the applicant's DD Form 214. The applicant's separation orders are dated 7 months after the separation date shown on his DD Form 214 and the dates shown in item 12a and item 12b of his DD Form 214 do not equal the amount of service shown in item 12c (3 years, 6 months, and 20 days). Therefore, it appears that the applicant's separation year was inadvertently recorded as 2008 instead of 2009. In view of these facts, the applicant is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214.

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 24 February 2009 to show he served in Iraq from 23 May 2007 to April 2008. His DD Form 214 shows he entered active duty on 18 July 2008 and was REFRAD on 24 February 2009. His orders show he was ordered to active duty effective 22 May 2007 for a period not to exceed 400 days, but there is no evidence he deployed to Iraq prior to 3 August 2007.

Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations - Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. Although the applicant contends that he was released from active duty on 5 December 1987, retirement orders show his effective date of retirement was 2 December 1987 which is properly shown in item 12b of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 2 December 1987. Evidence of...

This period of active duty is not shown on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 18 July 2003; therefore, item 12a should be corrected to show he entered active duty on 27 May 2002, and item 12c should also be...
