BOARD DATE: 20 September 2012
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20120005768
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 name shown on his interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management System (iPERMS) record and his Honorable Discharge Certificate.
2. The applicant states he was discharged in May 2002 and his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending
13 May 2002 correctly shows his first name as G------y, his middle name as
O-----g, and his last name as O---o. When he was commissioned as a Reserve officer his DA Form 71 (Oath of Office – Military Personnel) shows the correct names. However, his iPERMS record shows his first name as
O-----g, his middle name as O---o, and his last name as G------y.
3. The applicant provides:
* DA Form 71
* DD Form 214 for the period ending 10 March 2009
* his Honorable Discharge Certificate, dated 17 January 2012
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 27 February 2007. He had previously served 4 years of active service in an enlisted status in the Regular Army.
a. His DD Form 214 for the period ending 13 May 2002 shows his last name as O---o, his first name as G------y, and his middle name as O-----g.
b. His DA Form 71, dated 27 February 2007, shows his last name as O---o, his first name as G------y, and his middle name as O-----g.
2. He served a period of active duty for training from 4 January through
10 March 2009. His DD Form 214 for this period of service shows his last name as O---o, his first name as G------y, and his middle name as O-----g.
3. His iPERMS record identifies his last name as G------y, first name as O-----g, and middle name as O---o.
4. His Honorable Discharge Certificate, dated 17 January 2010, shows the name O-----g O---o G------y (first, middle, last name).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. He is identified incorrectly in the iPERMS database. He is identified with his first name as his last name, his middle name as his first name, and his last name as his middle name. A Soldier's record on iPERMS should reflect in order, last name, first name, and middle name. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his name on iPERMS as shown on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 10 March 2009.
2. His Honorable Discharge Certificate clearly reflects his name incorrectly. It should be entered on the certificate as first name, middle name, last name. Therefore, it is appropriate to reissue his discharge certificate with his correct name.
BOARD VOTE:

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Board determined that the evidence presented was 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:
a. Correcting his iPERMS record to show his name as shown on his
DD Form 214 for the period ending 10 March 2009, and
b. Reissuing his Honorable Discharge Certificate to show his name in the correct order by his first name, middle name, and last name.

There are no orders in his MPRJ awarding him the Combat Infantryman Badge. The first name on the orders for award of the Combat Infantryman Badge does not match the applicant's first name and does not show a middle name or initial as shown on his DD Form 4, DD Form 214, and throughout his MPRJ. The orders awarding him the Combat Infantryman Badge should be amended to show his correct first name as shown on his DD Form 4 and DD Form 214.
