IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 25 May 2010
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20090018913
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 her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to add the additional military occupational specialty (MOS) 42A (Human Resources Specialist).
2. The applicant states that only her primary MOS of 92A (Automated Logistical Specialist) is reflected in item 11 of her DD Form 214. She contends that she worked as a 42A for most of her career. She further believes that this error took place because the size of the instructions in item 11 is very small.
3. The applicant provides a copy of her DD Form 214 and a copy of her Enlisted Record Brief (ERB).
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's records show she initially enlisted in the Regular Army on 6 December 2001 for a period of 3 years. She completed basic combat and advanced individual training and was awarded MOS 92A. Her records also show she reenlisted on 11 February 2004 for a period of 4 years in the same MOS. She was honorably discharged on 10 February 2008 in the rank/grade of sergeant/E-5 and had no pending service obligations at the time of her separation.
2. Item 11 of her DD Form 214 shows she held MOS 92A2O (Automated Logistical Specialist) for 6 years and 3 months.
3. The applicant's ERB, dated 1 February 2008, shows in section IX (Assignment Information) that she served in duty MOS 92A for most of her career. It also shows she served in duty MOS 42A from 27 September 2004 through 3 May 2005.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) establishes the standardized policy for preparing and distributing the DD Form 214. The DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldier's most recent period of continuous active duty. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. Chapter 2 states the information in item 11 is obtained from the ERB and showed the titles of all MOS's served for at least 1 year; include for each MOS the number of years and months served.
5. The proponent of Army Regulation 635-5 has clarified that the intent of the regulation was to enter awarded MOS's on the DD Form 214, not duty MOS's.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's contention that the additional MOS of 42A2O was erroneously omitted from her DD Form 214 was carefully considered and is not supported by the evidence.
2. By regulation, with clarification, the MOS's listed in item 11 of the DD Form 214 must have been formally awarded and must be documented on a member's ERB. In this case, although her record shows she worked as a 42A2O for 7 months, there is no evidence of record that shows she was ever awarded this MOS as either a primary or secondary MOS. As a result, there is an insufficient evidentiary basis to support a change to item 11 of her DD Form 214.

The evidence of record shows that for MOS time determinations, 16 days or more count as a month. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct block 11 of the applicant's DD Form 214 for the period ending 10 September 2010 to show he held MOS 92A for a period of 11 years and 1 month. The evidence of record shows the applicant was retired from active duty on 10 September 2010 and placed on the TDRL.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100018766
The applicant requests item 11 (Primary Specialty) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected. His AARTS transcript shows he held primary MOS 88M2O from February 2005 to present [6 November 2006, his separation date] for a total of 1 year and 8 months. Therefore, item 11 of his DD Form 214 should be corrected to show he served in MOS 42A2O for 3 years and 2 months and in MOS 88M2O for 1 year and 8 months.

The applicant contends his records should be corrected to show entitlement to a $20,000.00 NPSEB because an additional requirement for a security clearance resulted in the withdrawal of his critical skill PMOS 42A; however, he was reclassified into another critical skill bonus MOS (PMOS 92A). Records show the applicant enlisted for an NPSEB for critical skill MOS 42A in the amount of $20,000.00. As a result of this correction, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service shall be notified of...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090011623
The applicant requests that item 11 (Primary Specialty) of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show she served in military occupational specialty (MOS) 76C1O/2O (equipment records and parts specialist) and MOS 92A1O/2O (automated logistical specialist) instead of MOS 92B1O (medical laboratory specialist). Item 11 of the applicant's DD Form 214 shows she served in primary MOS 92B1O for 10 years and 7 months. Therefore, item 11 of her DD...

After completing 7 months and 20 days of net active service this period, the applicant was honorably discharged on 18 September 2007, under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5-8, due to parenthood. The DD Form 214 that the applicant was furnished, on 18 September 2007, erroneously shows she entered AD this period on 29 October 2001; that she completed 5 years, 10 months and 20 days of net active service this period; that she had no total prior active service; that she had...

The applicant states according to the newest version of Army Regulation (AR) 600-8-19 (Enlisted Promotions and Reductions), dated 30 April 2010, paragraph 1-20(c), she should have been promoted to SSG during her out-processing effective the date prior to her placement on the retired list. The records available to the Junior Enlisted Promotion section indicated the applicant's promotion records did not reflect any promotion points at the time of her separation. Paragraph 1-20a of the...

The applicant requests that item 11 (Primary Specialty) on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show military occupational specialty (MOS) 92A (automated logistical specialist) instead of 92Y (supply sergeant). Evidence of record shows the applicant was awarded primary MOS 76P4Q effective 13 August 1992. Since MOS 76P was converted to MOS 92A effective 1 April 1993, and MOS 92Y was not an authorized MOS, it would be appropriate to correct...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110001605
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of the last name on her military records. While it is understood why she would want her records changed to reflect her maiden or current legal name, the evidence of record confirms she served in and was separated in the last name that is listed on her ERB, DD Form 214, and all other documents that were filed in her OMPF subsequent to 18 June 2003, the date of her...
