		IN THE CASE OF:	  

		BOARD DATE:	  29 November 2012

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20110009754 


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) by amending the following:

	a.  Item 1 (Name (Last, First, Middle)) – from “S___” to “Da S____;” 

	b.  Item 4a (Grade, Rate or Rank) – from “SGT” (Sergeant) to “PFC” (Private First Class); and

	c.  Item 4b (Pay Grade) – from “E-5” to “E-3.”

2.  She states her last name, rank, and pay grade were incorrectly entered on her DD Form 214. 

3.  She provides:

* Her DD Form 214
* A promotion document

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant’s record contains a DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document – Armed Forces of the United States) which shows she enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 9 March 2010.  Item 1 (Name) shows her last name as “Da S____.”

2.  Her record also contains a Record of Emergency Data form and a Questionnaire for National Security Positions form; both documents show her last name as “Da S____.” 

3.  She provided a copy of a Personnel Action form which shows she was advanced to the rank/pay grade of PFC/E-3 effective 16 December 2010.

4.  The applicant’s DD Form 214 shows she was honorably released from active duty training on 16 December 2010 after completing 4 months and 14 days of net active service.  Her last name is shown as “S____” and rank/pay grade are shown as “SGT/E-5.”  Item 12i (Effective Date of Pay Grade) shows the date “2010 07 09.”

5.  Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents that must be prepared for Soldiers on retirement, discharge, release from active duty service, or control of the Active Army.  Chapter 2 contains item-by-item preparation instructions for the DD Form 214 as follows:

   a.  Item 1 – Enter the name listed in a member's record.  Enlistment contracts should be reviewed for possible name changes;
   
   b.  Items 4a and 4b – Enter the rank and pay grade the member holds on the date of separation; and 
   
      c.  Item 12i – Enter the effective date of promotion to the current pay grade.
   
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record confirms in all available documents that her last name is “Da S____.”  As such, it would be appropriate to amend item 1 of her DD Form 214 to show the correct last name.  

2.  The applicant was advanced to the rank/pay grade PFC/E-3 on 16 December 2010.  It is apparent an error occurred at the time her DD Form 214 was prepared which listed her rank/pay grade as SGT/E-5.  Therefore, she is entitled to have items 4a and 4b amended to show PFC/E-3. 

3.  As a result of the corrections in items 4a and 4b, item 12i should also be corrected to show the effective date of her pay grade as “2010 12 16.”

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

	a.  item 1 – deleting the last name “S____” and replacing it with “Da S____;”

	b.  Item 4a – deleting “SGT” and replacing it with “PFC;”

	c.  Item 4b – deleting “E-5” and replacing it with “E-3;” and

	d.  Item 12i – deleting “2010 07 09” and replacing it with “2010 12 16.”
