IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 15 January 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20120012384
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 Service Number (SN) and Social Security Number (SSN) as "xxx-xx-36xx" rather than "xxx-xx-33xx."
2. The applicant states his SN and SSN is the same number and both numbers are incorrectly listed on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214 and Social Security Card.
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 applicants 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 applicants failure to timely file. In all other respects, there are insufficient bases to waive the statute of limitations for timely filing.
2. The applicant enlisted in the Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG) on 19 November 1970. He completed training and was awarded military occupational specialty 11B (Light Weapons Infantryman).
3. The applicant's Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR), formerly known as the official military personnel file, is void of the DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) that would have listed the SSN he disclosed upon enlistment in the OHARNG.
4. However, his DD Form 4 (Enlistment Contract), dated 19 November 1970, listed his SN and SSN as "xxx-xx-36xx."
5. On 2 March 1971, the applicant was ordered to active duty. His DD Form 214 shows he was honorably released from active duty on 11 July 1971 and transferred to the OHARNG. He completed 4 months and 10 days of creditable active military service and his SN and SSN are listed as "xxx-xx-33xx."
6. A review of the applicant's AMHRR shows his SN and SSN as "xxx-xx-36xx" consistently throughout his records.
7. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldier's upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. This regulation establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It states the complete name, SN, and SSN of the separating service member will be entered on the DD Form 214.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence of record shows the applicant's SN and SSN as "xxx-xx-36xx" consistently throughout his records. Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to reflect this SN and SSN.

A DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History), dated 25 May 1970, completed by the applicant upon his entry into the U.S. Armed Forces shows in: a. item 8 (Military Service Grade and SN/Social Security Account Number (SSAN)) "E-1 9XX-XX-XX40" and b. item 13 (Employment SSN) no entry. The evidence of record shows that either a TIN or an invalid SSN was used throughout the applicant's military service. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the...

The applicant's military record contains an undated DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) that he completed during his enlistment processing. The DD Form 214 he was issued at the time lists his SSN as "XXX-XX-XX88." The evidence of record confirms the SSN the applicant claims is correct is the same SSN he provided during his enlistment processing and as listed on additional documents contained throughout his AMHRR.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110001437
When he went into the service, he was issued an SSN by the Army. Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "9XX-XX-1193." The evidence of record shows the applicant was inducted into the Army of the United States on 17 September 1969.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140019890
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) to show his service number (SN) and social security number (SSN) as "xxx-xx-0xxx" instead of the entry "NONE" and "xxx-xx-8xxx", respectively. Item 3 (SSN) of the DD Form 214 contained in his official military personnel file shows the entry "xxx-xx-8xxx." The documents in his military service records show he served in the Army using SSN "xxx-xx-8xxx."

Item 2 (SN) of his DD Form 47 (Record of Induction) listed the entry "917-XX-XXXX." He provides a social security card that shows his name and a different SSN (the number 400-XX-XXXX - the same SSN hand-written on his DA Form 20) than that shown on his DD Form 214. In this case, based on the evidence of record and the evidence he submitted, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his SSN.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2015 | 20150001532
The applicant requests, in effect, 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 "273-XX-XXXX" instead of "943-XX-XXXX."

As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the...
