IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 18 March 2010
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090012964
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 correction of his social security number (SSN) on his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) for the period ending 25 February 1969.
2. The applicant states his SSN should be xxx-xx-xxx9 instead of xxx-xx-xxx4 as shown on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214; Headquarters, U.S. Army Personnel Center, Fort Lewis, WA, Special Orders Number 56, dated
25 February 1969; and an U.S. Army Honorable Discharge Certificate, dated
7 August 1971.
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 was inducted into the Army of the United States on 25 July 1967. He successfully completed basic combat and advanced individual training and was awarded military occupational specialty (MOS) 76Y (Supply Specialist).
3. Headquarters, U.S. Army Personnel Center, Special Orders Number 56, dated 25 February 1969, released the applicant from active duty, effective
25 February 1969. These orders show his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx9.
4. On 25 February 1969, the applicant was honorably released from active duty. Item 3 (Social Security Number) of his DD Form 214 with the period ending
25 February 1969 shows his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx4. There are no documents in the applicant's available records that show his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx4.
5. The applicant submitted his U.S. Army Honorable Discharge Certificate, dated 7 August 1971, that shows his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx9.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant's DD Form 214 for the period ending 25 February 1969 erroneously shows his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx4. There are no documents contained in the applicant's available records that show his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx4. It is apparent that during the preparation of the applicant's DD Form 214 an administrative error was made. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN as xxx-xx-xxx9.
BOARD VOTE:
____x____ ____x____ ____x____ GRANT FULL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF
________ ________ ________ GRANT FORMAL HEARING
________ ________ ________ DENY APPLICATION
BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief. As a result, the Board recommends that all
Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by
deleting from item 3 of his DD Form 214 the entry xxx-xx-xxx4 and replacing it with the entry xxx-xx-xxx9.

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) for the period ending 22 March 1977 to show his social security number (SSN) as "xxx-xx-xxx9" instead of "xxx-xx-xxx4." Therefore, lacking convincing independent and verifiable evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that the applicant's military service records, including the DD Form 214, was correct at the time, and there is insufficient evidence to grant him relief in this case.

The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his social security number (SSN) as "xxx-xx-xxx9." His DA Form 3027 (U.S. Army Request for National Agency Check), dated 28 September 1966, shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-xxx9." _______ _ X______ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120001142
His record contains some personnel, medical, and other documents that mostly listed his service number; however, when his SSN is listed it is shown as "xxx-xx-xxx9." It appears an administrative error occurred when his DD Form 214 was prepared that lists his SSN as "xxx-xx-xxx4," which is the only document in his available record with such an SSN. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 to show his correct SSN.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110013651
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his correct social security number (SSN). The orders show the applicant's SSN as "XXX-XX-XXX9." The evidence of record also shows this SSN was consistently recorded in the applicant's official military service records, including on his DD Form 214, when he was REFRAD.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120019024
The applicant states the SSN recorded on his DD Form 214 should be "xxx-xx-xxx4" instead of "xxx-xx-xxx0." The evidence of record shows that the U.S. Army was not using the SSN at the time the applicant initially entered active duty. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant's 4 April 1969 DD Form 214 to show his SSN as "xxx-xx-xxx4."
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130009838
The applicant requests, in effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) to show his social security number (SSN) as "XXX-XX-XXX9." The applicant's complete military records are not available to the Board for review. The evidence of record shows the applicant enlisted in the FLARNG on 9 July 1977; however, the SSN he used during the enlistment process is unknown.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The evidence further shows this same address was listed on his DD Form 214 as his permanent address following separation, and he authenticated his DD Form 214 by affixing his signature. As a result, the Board recommends denial of so much of the application that pertains to the correction of his: * separation rank and grade * home of record address * permanent address for mailing purposes after...
