DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110016058
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 item 19a (Mailing Address After Separation) on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show the address reflected in item 19b (Nearest Relative).
2. The applicant states:
* the address shown in item 19a on his DD Form 214 is wrong as it shows the address he had before the expiration of his term of service (ETS)
* he tried to enroll in school and was charged out of State tuition
* he tried to use his GI Bill in the State in which he joined the Army
* the address shown in item 19b is also the State in which he was born and his home of record
3. The applicant provides no additional evidence.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 16 January 2008, in Mountain View, California. He completed training as a combat engineer. He arrived at Fort Hood, Texas, on 27 May 2008.
2. After completing 3 years, 1 month, and 20 days of net active service this period, he was honorably released from active duty on 7 March 2011, due to a reduction in force.
3. Item 19a on his DD Form 214 shows an address located in Florence, Texas. Item 19b shows an address located in Oxnard, California.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents that must be prepared for Soldiers at the time of discharge, release from active duty, or retirement. It states that the information contained on the DD Form 214 will apply only to the period of service covered by the DD Form 214. It states the mailing address after separation and nearest relative will be provided by the Soldier. The mailing address must be a permanent address and civilian penal institutions will not be accepted.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's contentions have been noted.
2. In accordance with the applicable regulation, the mailing address after separation will be provided by the Soldier. He has provided no evidence showing that the address shown in item 19a on his DD Form 214 was not his mailing address after separation.
3. The fact that California is the State in which he was born and his home of record is not a basis for granting relief.
4. In view of the forgoing, his request should be denied.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100027604
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests correction of blocks 19a (Mailing Address after Separation) and 19b (Nearest Relative) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The available evidence clearly shows that there is a typographical error in the address listed in Block 19a of his DD Form 214.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140013559
The applicant requests correction of items 19a (Mailing Address After Separation) and 19b (Nearest Relative) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty). The DD Form 214 is a snapshot in time and is a reflection of the applicant's record of active Army service at the time of his REFRAD. The fact that his post-service address and nearest relative changed after he was REFRAD is not a basis for granting his request to amend item 19a or 19b of his DD Form 214.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090007377
The applicant requests, in effect, that Item 12a (Date Entered AD This Period) and the spelling of the name of the city in Items 7a (Home of Record at Time of Entry), 19a (Mailing Address After Separation), and 19b (Nearest Relative), recorded on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected.

Since the governing regulation states that the Home of Record is the place recorded as the home of record of the Soldier when enlisted, there is no basis for granting the applicants request to amend item 7b on his DD Form...

ARMY | BCMR | CY2004 | 20040003063C070208
Jonathon Rost | |Member | The Board considered the following evidence: Exhibit A - Application for correction of military records. The fact that he now considered the address in item 19a as a temporary address following his separation is not evidence that it was erroneous at the time, or that an injustice is created by not changing that address. The address in item 19b was the address of his mother and as such would also have been an appropriate address for inclusion on his separation document.
