THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

2. She retired from active duty for length of service on 31 January 2010 in the rank of major.

c. Throughout her military records during the above period of active duty her last name is spelled as Dxxxxxx.
3. The applicant provides a copy of a marriage license from the County of Bexar in the State of Texas which shows she married Rxxxx Jxxxxx on 25 June 2011.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's records show she was appointed and served under the last name of Dxxxxxx.
2. The Army has an interest in maintaining the accuracy of its records for historical purposes. The information in those records must reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created.
3. The document submitted by the applicant shows she married someone with the last name of Jxxxxx on 25 June 2011, more than 1 year after she was retired.
4. In the absence of compelling information to the contrary, there is no basis for changing the records in this case.
5. A copy of this decisional document, which confirms she married someone with the last name of Jxxxxx, will be filed in the applicant's OMPF. This should serve to clarify any questions or confusion regarding the different names, and adequately document her record.
6. Changes of name based on changes of marital status subsequent to her placement on the Retired List should be submitted to Commander, U.S. Army Human Resources Command, ATTN: AHRC-PDR-V, 1600 Spearhead Division Avenue, Fort Knox, KY 40122.

The applicant provides her marriage record document. While all other documents throughout her military service show her last name as Kxxxxx, including those after her marriage, until those separation documents completed in February 2004, it appears she attempted to have her name shown on her DD Form 214 as Kxxxhxxxxx. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending her DD Form 214 to show the spelling of her...

She would like her records to reflect the correct information. This DD Form 215 shows her last name as U____y. While she may have married on 11 January 2002 and provides a DA Form 4187 that shows she requested a name change, the evidence of record does not show and she hasnt provided any evidence that shows the DA Form 4187 was processed or that she used any other last name than U____y during her active duty service.

Records show that upon entry in the U.S. Armed Forces the applicant reported her name as "Alicia C---n." This name was correctly recorded in her records until she changed her name to "Alicia C---s" based on marriage. Records also show the applicant divorced and her request to change her name in her records back to "Alicia C---n" was approved.

The first marriage license shows the applicant (B.B., currently known as S.B.) DFAS stated since she and the FSM were not married at his date of retirement and because they were previously divorced, she did not meet the 1-year marriage requirement. The applicant did not provide sufficient evidence to show her entitlement to SBP as a former spouse, which would have been granted in a divorce decree or in an SBP Election Form.

The applicant requests, in effect, correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 30 April 2010 to show her last name as "Stephens" instead of "Everette." The fact that she married and changed her name after her retirement does not serve as a basis to alter her records to reflect information that was not in effect at the time of her retirement. _______ _ X______ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and...
