IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 13 November 2014
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140004159
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 the Social Security Number (SSN) shown on his DD Form 214 (Report of Transfer or Discharge)
2. The applicant states his SSN ends in 2810 not 2910.
3. The applicant provides no additional documents.
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 was inducted on 9 September 1965, served in Vietnam and, on 19 June 1967, he was honorably separated from active duty and transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) Control Group (Annual Training) as a sergeant (E-5).
3. The applicant did not provide an SSN on the DD Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) that he submitted when he was inducted. Aside from his DD Form 214, the only occurrence of an SSN in his record is on an IBM data punch-card, dated "1 Jun 67," and his discharge orders from the USAR. Both show his SSN as ending in 2810.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The SSN shown on his DD Form 214 should be corrected.

The applicant requests correction of item 3 (Social Security Number (SSN)) of his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge). The applicant states: * his SSN is wrong on his DD Form 214 * his SSN is "4XX-6X-3XXX" not "4XX-3X-8XXX" 3. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending item 3 of his DD Form 214 to list his SSN as it is shown on his Social Security card.

IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 20 December 2012 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20120010066 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING 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) shown as xxx-x4-xxxx instead of xxx-x8-xxxx.

ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120000688
During the induction process the applicant signed a Form 398 (Statement of Personal History) showing his SSN as ending in 14. When the SSN was used to help identify the applicant the number ending in 14 was used. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by amending his DD Form 214 by showing the SSN as it is listed on his Social Security Card.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120018737
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-x2-xxxx" instead of "xxx-x0-xxxx." His record also contains a DA Form 41 (Record of Emergency), dated April 1968, that shows the same SSN as shown on his DD Form 398. Therefore, it would be appropriate at this time to correct his DD Form 214 accordingly.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of record shows the applicant's SSN ends in XX13 and his DD Form 214 should be corrected.
