IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 9 January 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130008621
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 "xxx-xx-x4xx."
2. The applicant states:
* the SSN listed on his discharge is incorrect
* his SSN is "xxx-xx-x4xx" not "xxx-xx-x9xx"
3. The applicant provides no additional documentary evidence.
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
31 May 1966, shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-x4xx."
3. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve and entered active duty on 14 April 1967. He served as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam from 6 April 1968 to 4 April 1969 and he was released from active duty on
25 February 1971.
4. Item 3 (SSN) of his DD Form 214 shows his SSN as "xxx-xx-x9xx."
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant's DD Form 398, dated 31 May 1966, shows he recorded his SSN as "xxx-xx-x4xx." Therefore, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 accordingly.

BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION:
