		IN THE CASE OF:	  

		BOARD DATE:	  11 September 2012

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20120004829 


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 his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his social security number (SSN) as "564-XX-XXXX."

2.  The applicant states his SSN is "564-XX-XXXX," not "546-XX-XXXX."

3.  The applicant provides his:

* social security card
* DD Form 214

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  Title 10, U.S. Code, section 1552(b), provides that applications for correction of military records must be filed within 3 years after discovery of the alleged error or injustice.  This provision of law also allows the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) to excuse an applicant's failure to timely file within the 3-year statute of limitations if the ABCMR determines it would be in the interest of justice to do so.  While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if any, is granted, has determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file.  In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.

2.  The applicant's DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 28 July 1968, shows his SSN as "564-XX-XXXX."

3.  He enlisted in the Regular Army on 31 July 1968 for a period of 3 years.  He served as an air traffic control ground approach specialist in Vietnam.  He was released from active duty on 30 July 1971 and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group (Reinforcement) to complete his remaining service obligation.

4.  Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "546-XX-XXXX."

5.  He provides a copy of his social security card which shows his SSN as 
"564-XX-XXXX."

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

The applicant's DD Form 398, dated 28 July 1968, shows he recorded his SSN as "564-XX-XXXX."  Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to reflect his SSN as "564-XX-XXXX" as shown on his social security card.

BOARD VOTE:

____x___  ____x___  ____x___  GRANT FULL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF 

________  ________  ________  GRANT FORMAL HEARING

________  ________  ________  DENY APPLICATION

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:

The Board determined the evidence presented is sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief.  As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by 


deleting the current SSN entry from his DD Form 214 and replacing it with the SSN shown on his social security card.
