IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 10 January 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110019558
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 the 2 May 2000 orders for his first award of the Army Good Conduct Medal be removed from his official military personnel file (OMPF).
2. The applicant states:
* he currently has two separate Army Good Conduct Medal (1st Award) orders in his record
* the correct orders are dated 8 February 2000
* his current unit S-1/G-1 told him it was an error on the part of his old
S-1/G-1
* the correction cannot be made locally because the orders are not "exact" copies
3. The applicant provides:
* Army Good Conduct Medal (1st Award) orders, dated 8 February 2001 and 2 May 2000
* email
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 14 February 1997. He is currently serving on active duty in the rank of sergeant first class.
2. Headquarters, 90th Personnel Services Battalion, Permanent
Orders 039-004, dated 8 February 2000, show the applicant was awarded the first award of the Army Good Conduct Medal for the period 14 February 1997 to 13 February 2000.
3. Headquarters, 90th Personnel Services Battalion, Permanent
Orders 123-011, dated 2 May 2000, show he was awarded the first award of the Army Good Conduct Medal for the period 14 February 1997 to 13 February 2000. These orders have not been revoked.
4. A review of the applicant's performance section of his OMPF and military personnel records jacket in the interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management System revealed copies of the 8 February 2000 and 2 May 2000 Army Good Conduct Medal orders.
5. Army Regulation 600-8-104 (Military Personnel Information Management/
Records) provides policies, operating tasks, and steps governing the OMPF. Table 2-1 of this Army regulation shows that award orders are filed in the performance section of the OMPF.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The regulatory guidance states to file award orders in the performance section of the OMPF.
2. However, there is a viable reason for revoking and removing Headquarters, 90th Personnel Services Battalion, Permanent Orders 123-011, dated 2 May 2000, from the applicant's OMPF. The applicant was issued two separate orders for the first award of the Army Good Conduct Medal for what appears to be the same period. The 2 May 2000 orders offer no relevant information regarding the applicant's service, conduct, or duty performance. Moreover, revoking and removing them would eliminate the potential for confusion by officials authorized to review the performance section of the applicant's OMPF.

The applicant states that his OMPF has 5 different orders for his AGCM (4th Award) and he requests that 4 of the awards be removed from his OMPF. These orders awarded the applicant the AGCM (4th Award) for the period 29 January 1997 to 28 January 2000. Orders awarding the applicant the AGCM (1st through 3rd Award) are correct for those time periods in which the applicant served.

The applicant continues that a memorandum for the disqualification of the first award for the Army Good Conduct Medal was erroneously filed in his MPRJ (Military Personnel Jacket Record) and in the performance section of his OMPF. The applicant contends that the memorandum of disqualification, dated 9 February 2001, for the first award of the Army Good Conduct Medal, filed in the performance portion of his OMPF should be removed. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the...

Absent any disqualifying factors for award of the Good Conduct Medal, it appears the orders for the applicant's second award of the Good Conduct Medal were revoked because the dates of qualifying service were incorrect (not continuous). However, if the applicant can...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080020088
The applicant requests removal of permanent orders awarding him the Army Good Conduct Medal (AGCM) and the Parachutist Badge from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). In this regard, the OMPF serves to maintain an unbroken, historical record of a Soldier's service, conduct, duty performance, and evaluation periods, and any corrections to other parts of the OMPF. Therefore, this Record of Proceedings serves as the authority to remove Orders 133-35 from the applicant's OMPF if those...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100024781
The applicant requests removal of duplicate orders awarding him the Army Good Conduct Medal (2nd Award) from his official military personnel file (OMPF). Both orders are filed in his OMPF.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2005 | 20050009660C070206
The applicant states, in effect, that a duplicate order awarding him the Good Conduct Medal (Fourth Award) and the corresponding order revoking that order are filed in the performance section of his OMPF and this may give members of a future Command Sergeants Major promotion selection board a false impression that the award was actually taken away from the applicant. The evidence of record confirms that the applicant was properly awarded the Good Conduct Medal (Fourth Award) by permanent...
