BOARD DATE: 6 May 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20130015510
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 that his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show a primary specialty of 35F1O Tactical Intelligence Analyst in item 11 (Primary Specialty).
2. The applicant states that he was discharged due to a knee injury before he could complete his advanced individual training (AIT). He continues by stating that he actually completed his AIT but could not pass a physical fitness test. He also states that having the military occupational specialty (MOS) on his DD Form 214 would help him in gaining employment.
3. The applicant provides copies of his DD Form 214, college transcripts, and his Department of Veterans Affairs Rating Decision.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 24 March 2011 for a period of 3 years and 27 weeks and training as a tactical intelligence analyst (35F1O).
2. He completed his basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and was transferred to Fort Huachuca, Arizona to undergo his AIT in MOS 35F1O.
3. On 21 November 2011, he was honorably discharged due to unsatisfactory performance. He had served 7 months and 28 days of active service and had not completed his AIT and thus was not awarded an MOS.
4. Army Regulation 635-5 at the time served as the authority for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It provided, in pertinent part, that only completed courses that are 1 week (40 hours) or more in duration will be entered on the DD Form 214.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicants contentions and supporting documents have been noted and found to lack merit.
2. Notwithstanding the circumstances, the applicant did not complete his AIT and was not awarded a primary MOS.
3. Accordingly, he is not eligible to have completion of his AIT or an MOS added to his DD Form 214 as there is no eror or injustice in his case.

The applicant requests her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be amended. The records clearly show the applicant's MOS was 35M, HUMINT Collector, not Radar Repairer (MOS 94M). As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending her DD Form 214 to show the applicant's military education as 35M - Human Intelligence (HUMINT) Collector Course, 18 weeks and 3 days, 2011.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110001775
The same regulation states to list in-service (full-time attendance) training courses successfully completed during the period of service in item 14 of the DD Form 214. Her request to have MOS 91C added to item 11 and the Practical Nurse Course to item 14 of her DD Form 214 was carefully considered. Both conversion periods were prior to the applicants retirement from the Army and accordingly, her MOS was converted during each period.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140015685
The applicant provided a DA Form 330 which shows he was tested on 10 April 2013 for Pashto-Afghan language proficiency and he received a rating of 3/3.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130008113
There is no evidence in his records to show that he ever served as a HUMINT Collector. While the applicant served 1 year in a TPU after his REFRAD, he is not entitled to have that service included on his DD Form 214 as it was not active duty service and it occurred after the DD Form 214 was issued. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: * deleting the entry 94M2O RADAR REPAIRER 1 YRS 10 MOS//35M1O HUMINT...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120006642

Therefore, there is no basis for granting the applicant's requests to show these items on his DD Form 214. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence on which to amend his DD Form 214 to show he completed this course. Therefore, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request to show he was a graduate of the U.S. Army Signal Corps on his DD Form 214.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090016823
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show: a. award of the Bronze Star Medal, b. award of the Army Commendation Medal, and c. completion of the Arabic Language Course.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2002 | 2002075976C070403
EVIDENCE OF RECORD : The applicant's military records show: His DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record) also shows that he was awarded MOS 11D upon completion of AIT and that he served in that duty MOS. Evidence of record shows that the applicant’s primary MOS at the time of his separation on 30 January 1970 was 71H (company clerk).
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130010456
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) as follows: * Item 11 (Primary Specialty) to show 4 years * Item 12b (Separation Date This Period) to show 2 November 2012 2. With respect to item 12b of his DD Form 214, the evidence shows he was released from active duty on 2 November 2012.
