IN THE CASE OF:
BOARD DATE: 28 May 2015
DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140016575
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 the removal of the DA Form 4187 (Personnel Action) revoking his Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) 1B (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP)/Victim Advocate) and associated documents from his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).
2. The applicant states, in effect, that the DA Form 4187 that requested the revocation of his ASI of 1B was supposed to only be given to him; however, it is permanently filed in the service section of his OMPF. Accordingly, he desires it to be removed from his OMPF.
3. The applicant provides no additional documents with his application.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant was serving in the pay grade of E-6 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina when he completed the 80-Hour SHARP Course during the period of
15 26 October 2012. His certificate of course completion is filed in his OMPF.
2. On 9 April 2014, the commanding general of the Northern Regional Medical Command Fort Belvoir, Virginia relieved the applicant of his duties as a SHARP/Victim Advocate and indicated that the applicant had a Type I finding which disqualified him as a SHARP advocate. It was directed that the applicant's SHARP credentials be revoked.
3. On 11 April 2014, the applicants battalion commander submitted a DA Form 4187 requesting that the applicants ASI of 1B be revoked. The request contained a copy of the letter of relief and was approved on 23 April 2014.
4. Army Regulation 600-20 (Army Command Policy) provides in pertinent part that the appointing authority will notify Soldiers who are disqualified from serving in a position of significant trust because of credible evidence of a Type I offense. The first general officer or Senior Executive Service in the applicants chain of command is the disqualifying authority.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Based on the available evidence, it appears the applicant was properly removed as a SHARP victim advocate and it was appropriate to revoke his ASI and SHARP credentials.
2. However, the documents revoking the ASI and the basis for its removal are properly filed in the applicants OMPF, as is the certificate of completion of the SHARP course. The removal of his ASI serves to explain why he does not possess an ASI and will serve to prevent him from being awarded the ASI in the future.
3. For historical purposes, the Army has an interest in maintaining the integrity of its records. The data and information contained in those records should reflect the conditions and circumstances that existed at the time the records were created. In the absence of a showing of material error or injustice, there is a reluctance to recommend that those records be changed. Accordingly, there appears to be no basis to remove the documents that revoked his ASI.

In addition, the DASEB stated the GOMOR had served its intended purpose but it is being used to prove otherwise by effecting his removal from recruiting duties and loss of his MOS qualification. This misconduct resulted in him receiving a GOMOR which was directed for filing in his OMPF. As a result, any recruiters with a record of a Type 1 offense, which includes fraternization, will be removed from their duties.
