BOARD DATE: 14 November 2013
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130004883
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:
a. an upgrade of his general discharge to honorable; and
b. in effect, correction of item 12e (Total Prior Inactive Service) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 20 November 2012.
2. The applicant states:
a. He wants his discharge upgraded to honorable due to rehabilitative career advancement.
b. He also wants his time in service consolidated. His total length of service is 9 years, 6 months, and 29 days in accordance with his National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) and final DD Form 214.
3. The applicant provides:
* DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 November 2012
* NGB Form 22
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant's request for an upgrade of his discharge was noted. His application will be forwarded to the Army Discharge Review Board for review since his request is within its 15-year statute of limitations. Therefore, this portion of his request will not be discussed further in this Record of Proceedings.
2. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 11 February 1999, served as a light wheel vehicle mechanic, and was discharged on 9 July 2002. His DD Form 214 for the period ending 9 July 2002 shows he completed 3 years, 4 months, and 29 days of creditable active service with no prior active or inactive service.
3. He enlisted in the Army National Guard on 27 July 2006 and he was honorably discharged on 26 July 2007 due to the expiration of his term of service. His NGB Form 22 shows he completed 1 year of creditable service.
4. He again enlisted in the Regular Army on 20 September 2007. On 20 November 2012, he was discharged under honorable conditions (general). He completed 5 years, 2 months, and 1 day of creditable active service during this period.
5. Item 12e of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 November 2012 shows the entry "0000 06 07" indicating he completed 6 months and 7 days of total prior inactive service.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant's contention that item 12e of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 November 2012 is incorrect appears to have merit.
2. His NGB Form 22 shows he completed 1 year of service during the period 27 July 2006 to 25 July 2007; however, his final DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 November 2012 shows he only completed 6 months and 7 days of prior inactive service. Therefore, his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 November 2012 should be corrected as recommended below.
BOARD VOTE:

________ ________ ________ GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF

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 entry from item 12e of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 November 2012 and replacing it with the entry "0001 00 00" indicating he completed 1 year of total prior inactive service.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110020571
The applicant's military records show he enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 16 March 2000 for 8 years. With respect to correction to items 12a, 12d, and 12e of his 2007 DD Form 214, the evidence of record shows he enlisted in the USAR on 16 March 2000 for 8 years. With respect to correction to his 2007 DD Form 214 for removal of the entry "Subject To AD Recall" from Item 18, the evidence shows at the time of his REFRAD on 5 October 2007 he had a MSO of 15 March 2008.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120022968
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 1 July 2010 to show his total prior inactive service as 1 year and 18 days. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active Army service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct the applicant's DD Form 214 for the period ending 1 July 2010 to reflect his total prior inactive...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100000850
The applicant's 2 October 2008 DD Form 4/1 shows he reenlisted in the Regular Army on this date for 4 years. The applicant's 2 December 2004 DD Form 214 is in error and should be corrected as follows: a. block 12a shows he entered active service this period on the date of his IADT, not the date of his Regular Army enlistment. This date should be corrected to show 3 October 2001; b. block 12c shows he completed 5 years, 2 months, and 26 days of active service.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2006 | 20060007195C070205
A DD Form 215, dated 23 March 1992, amended the applicant’s DD Form 214 for the period ending 1 March 1992, to show he entered active duty on 9 December 1991 and was released from active duty on 22 March 1992. However, except for the DD Forms 214, this Board does not have a record of what other active duty service the applicant may have. As a result, the Board recommends that the State Army National Guard records and all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be...

The applicant requests that the DD Form 215 (Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be removed from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). The applicant provided orders that show he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal prior to being released from active duty on 16 August 2003. Those orders are accepted as sufficient evidence to show that the DD Form 215 erroneously deleted the Army Commendation Medal from his DD Form 214 for the period...
