IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 8 October 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130003702
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) of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show an address in Conroe, Texas instead of an address in Crestview, Florida.
2. She states the address shown in item 19a of her DD Form 214 is her soon-to-be ex-husband's mother's address. They planned to move to Florida before they separated. She has never lived in Florida, she moved to Texas after giving birth to her son. She states her current address is in Conroe, Texas, and she would like her current address to be entered on her DD Form 214.
3. She provides no documentary evidence in support of her application.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. On 8 August 2012, the applicant was honorably discharged from the Regular Army after completing 6 years and 3 months of active service.
2. Her DD Form 214 shows in:
* item 19a, an address in Crestview, Florida
* item 19b (Nearest Relative), an individual with an address in Conroe, Texas
* item 21a (Member Signature), the applicant's digital signature
* item 21b (Date), she signed the form on 11 July 2012
3. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Army. It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It states the DD Form 214 is a summary of a Soldiers most recent period of continuous active duty. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. It provides instructions for completing each item on the DD Form 214. The instructions for items 19a and 19b state:
* mailing address after separation and nearest relative will be provided by the Soldier
* this address must be a permanent address
* advise a Soldier that the name and address of a relative should be someone who will know their location and address at all times
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The available evidence does not support the applicant's request for correction of item 19a of her DD Form 214 to show an address in Conroe, Texas instead of an address in Crestview, Florida.
2. Considering that the mailing address after separation is provided by the Soldier, it must be presumed that the DD Form 214 accurately reflects the information she provided.
3. The fact that her plans changed is noted; however, a change in plans subsequent to completion of the DD Form 214 is an insufficient basis for changing the address on her DD Form 214.
