IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 25 March 2010
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090016247
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 20 March 2009 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show 4 years and
1 month of total prior active service.
2. The applicant states, in effect, that he had two prior periods of service for which he was issued DD Forms 214. The DD Forms 214 were not available at the time that he transitioned in March 2009. However, item 12d (Total Prior Active Service) of his 2009 DD Form 214 should show 4 years and 1 month.
3. The applicant provides copies of three DD Forms 214.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's DD Form 214 from 10 May 2004 to 20 October 2005 credits him with 1 year, 5 months, and 1 day of total active service. However, he should have been credited with 1 year, 5 months, and 11 days of total active service.
2. The applicant's DD Form 214 from 3 April 2006 to 31 August 2007 credits him with 1 year, 3 months, and 25 days of total active service. However, he should have been credited with 1 year, 4 months, and 28 days of total active service.
3. The applicants records show he enlisted in the Army National Guard and was ordered to active duty on 23 February 2008. He completed 1 year and 28 days of active service and was honorably released from active duty on 20 March 2009.
4. Item 12d (Total Prior Active Service) of the applicant's 20 March 2009
DD Form 214 shows "0000 00 00."
5. Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations), establishes standardized procedures for preparation and distribution of the DD Form 214. The regulation states to enter in item 12d the total amount of prior active military service less lost time from previously issued DD Forms 214.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. It is unknown why the applicant believes that his prior active service should be listed as 4 years and 1 month.
2. The applicant's 20 October 2005 DD Form 214 shows he completed 1 year,
5 months, and 11 days of active service.
3. The applicant's 31 August 2007 DD Form 214 shows he completed 1 year,
4 months, and 28 days of active service.
4. Therefore he is entitled to have his 20 March 2009 DD Form 214 corrected to show 2 years, 10 months, and 9 days of prior active service.
