IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 30 June 2011
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20100029720
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 DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his proper military occupational specialty (MOS).
2. The applicant states Item 11 (Primary Specialty) of his DD Form 214 reads:
* 15T10 00 POWER GENERATION EQUIPMENT REPAIR--2 YRS-5 MOS//11B1P INFANTRYMAN--3 YRS-5 MOS//NOTHING FOLLOWS
3. The applicant states Item 11 should read:
* 15T10 00 UTILITY HELICOPTER REPAIRER--2 YRS-5 MOS//11B1P INFANTRYMAN--3 YRS-5 MOS//NOTHING FOLLOWS
4. The applicant provides
* DD Form 214
* Memorandum, dated 13 July 2005, requesting issuance of a DD Form 215 (Correction to DD Form 214) to correct Item 11
* Orders 064-00241, U.S. Army Transportation Center and Fort Eustis, Fort Eustis, VA, dated 5 March 2003, awarding him MOS 67T1O (UH-1 Blackhawk Helicopter Repairer)
* Orders 65-04, U.S. Army Transportation Center and Fort Eustis, Fort Eustis, VA, dated 5 March 2003, awarding him the Aviation Badge-Basic
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 enlisted in the Regular Army on 28 July 1999. He was trained in MOS 67T1O (UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter Repairer). He was honorably separated on 12 September 2005. Item 11 of his DD Form 214 shows his MOS entry as:
* 15T10 00 POWER GENERATION EQUIPMENT REPAIR--2 YRS-5 MOS//11B1P INFANTRYMAN--3 YRS-5 MOS//NOTHING FOLLOWS
3. In 2004, MOS 67T1O (UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter Repairer ) was converted to MOS 15T1O (Utility Helicopter Repairer).
4. The correct MOS number for a power generation equipment repairer is 52D, which was later converted to 91D.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant was school-trained in MOS 67T. This was later converted to MOS 15T. Both MOSs were "utility helicopter repairers." His DD Form 214 should be corrected.

Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). His DD Form 214 shows he completed 5 years, 11 months, and 1 day of creditable active duty service. While the evidence of record does not contain an official order showing the applicant was ever awarded any MOS, the Joint Service Transcript he provides shows he completed training in MOS 67T from 7 February 2000 to 19 May 2000.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100016683
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his period of service in military occupational specialty (MOS) 11B1P (Light Weapons Infantryman - Parachutist Qualified). The applicant's DA Form 2A, prepared on 14 September 1998, shows a primary MOS of 27M2P and a secondary MOS of 11B1P. The Board further determined that the evidence presented is insufficient to warrant a portion of the requested relief.

When the applicant was awarded the BSM for his service during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), the unit clerk placed Staff Sergeant R**d's BSM narrative on his award certificate. The applicant states, in effect, his BSM Certificate does not reflect his correct duty MOS because the narrative actually belongs to another Soldier, Staff Sergeant P*** V. R**d. He would like the narrative changed. Given this fact, there is no evidence his BSM certificate is in error.

General orders awarded him the Army Commendation Medal which is not shown on his DD Form 214; therefore, he is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214 to show this award. With respect to MOS 67U, although he completed training requirements for and was awarded this MOS, the regulation in effect at the time required a listing of the PMOS in item 23a - 67N in the applicant's case.

The applicant requests, in effect, that his military records be corrected to show that his primary military occupational specialty (MOS) at the time of his release from active duty was 427.10 (Aircraft Armament Repairman). The applicant essentially states that once he returned from Vietnam, he was sent to Fort Hood, Texas with an MOS of 45G (Turret Artillery Repairman), but that this was not his primary MOS. The evidence of record also clearly shows that he served in Vietnam.
