IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 27 April 2010
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090015560
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, his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending on 28 January 2009 be corrected to show he entered active duty on 5 November 1998.
2. The applicant states while he initially entered active duty on 17 August 1993, he was released from active duty on 16 August 1996 and was issued a DD Form 214 for that period of service. He was assigned to the US Army Reserve (USAR) Control Group (Reinforcement) from the date of his release from active duty until the date of his enlistment in 1998. Therefore, his second DD Form 214 incorrectly lists his date entered active duty this period as 1993.
3. The applicant provides two DD Forms 214 and his 5 November 1998 enlistment contract.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's military records show he enlisted in the Regular Army on
17 August 1993 and he was honorably released from active and transferred to the USAR Control Group (Reinforcement) on 16 August 1996, due to completion of required active service. He was issued a DD Form 214 for this period of service.
2. He enlisted in the Regular Army on 5 November 1998. In conjunction with that enlistment the applicant's guidance counselor completed a DD Form 1966/1 (Record of Military Processing Armed Forces of the United States) which shows the applicant's pay entry date as 17 August 1993, and his active duty service date as 4 November 1995.
3. The applicant was honorably retired on 28 January 2009 due to disability, permanent. The applicant's DD Form 214, Item 12a (Date Entered AD This Period) contains the entry "1993 08 17" (17 August 1993).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was properly issued a DD Form 214 for the period of active duty starting on 17 August 1993.
2. The applicant's records clearly show that he had a break in active service between the date of his release from active duty on 16 August 1996 and the date he reentered active duty on 5 November 1998.
3. In view of the foregoing, it is apparent that 17 August 1993 is improperly entered in Item 12a of the applicant's DD Form 214 for the period ending 28 January 2009. The correct date is 5 November 1998.
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 the DD Form
214 for the period ending 28 January 2009 be corrected by deleting the current entry in Item 12a, adding "1998 11 05" (5 November 1998), and providing the applicant a document to show this correction.
