The governing regulation states awards and decorations for all periods of service will be listed in item 13 of the DD Form 214. Therefore, the applicant's DD Form 214 for the period ending 8 July 2008 should be corrected to show all of his awards and decorations.
2. The promotion orders provided by the applicant which show he was promoted to sergeant effective 9 August 2007 with a DOR of 9 August 2007 are accepted as sufficient evidence on which to amend item 12h of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 8 July 2008.
