BOARD DATE: 22 October 2009
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090014424
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 a Certificate of Training for inprocessing training be removed from the performance section of her official military personnel file (OMPF). She also requests that Headquarters, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Rucker, Permanent Orders 127-093, dated 7 May 2007, and Headquarters, 1st Battalion, 58th Regiment, Airfield Operations, Permanent Orders Number 135-01, dated 16 May 2008, be removed from the deployment/mobilization section of her OMPF.
2. The applicant states that the certificate is an inprocessing training center (ITC) certificate and is not unauthorized to be in the OMPF. She contends that both orders (fourth award of the Good Conduct Medal and the Drivers Badge) have been misfiled in the deployment/mobilization section.
3. The applicant provides no documentary evidence in support of her application.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 16 May 1995 and is currently serving on active duty in the rank of sergeant first class.
2. The applicant received a Certificate of Training for completing the Department of the Army's 80-hour inprocessing training course at the 284th Base Support Battalion in Giessen, Germany, during the period 21 June 1999 to 7 July 1999.
3. Headquarters, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Rucker Permanent Orders 127-093, dated 7 May 2007, show the applicant received the fourth award of the Good Conduct Medal.
4. Headquarters, 1st Battalion, 58th Regiment, Airfield Operations, Permanent Orders Number 135-01, dated 16 May 2008, show the applicant received the Drivers Badge.
5. A review of the performance and the military personnel records jacket (MPRJ) sections of the applicants OMPF in the interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management System (iPERMS) revealed a copy of the Certificate of Training in question.
6. A review of the performance, the MPRJ, and the deployment/mobilization sections of the applicants OMPF in iPERMS revealed a copy of Headquarters, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Rucker, Permanent Orders 127-093, dated 7 May 2007, and Headquarters, 1st Battalion, 58th Regiment, Airfield Operations, Permanent Orders Number 135-01, dated 16 May 2008.
7. Army Regulation 600-8-104 (Military Personnel Information Management/ Records) provides policies, operating tasks, and steps governing the OMPF. Table 2-1 of this Army regulation shows that certificates of training (file only certificates issued by activities listed in Department of the Army Pamphlet 351-4 (U.S. Army Formal Schools Catalog)) and award orders (includes badges, bars, tabs, and so forth) are filed in the performance section of the OMPF.
8. An ITC certificate is not an authorized certificate issued by an activity listed in the Department of Army Pamphlet 351-4.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Since the applicant's inprocessing training in 1999 was given at a unit and not a formal Army school, it would be appropriate to delete the Certificate of Training in question from the performance and MPRJ sections of the applicant's OMPF.
2. The regulatory guidance is to file award orders in the performance section of the OMPF. Since Headquarters, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Rucker Permanent Orders 127-093, dated 7 May 2007, and Headquarters, 1st Battalion, 58th Regiment, Airfield Operations, Permanent Orders Number 135-01, dated 16 May 2008, are properly filed in the performance section on the applicant's OMPF, it would be appropriate to remove these award orders from the deployment/mobilization section of her OMPF.
