DOCKET NUMBER: AR20140016740
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 item 12f (Foreign Service) of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), ending on 12 November 2013, to reflect her overseas duty.
2. The applicant states item 18 (Remarks) of her 2013 DD Form 214 shows she served in Qatar which is a designated imminent danger pay area.
3. The applicant provides a copy of her 2013 DD Form 214.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army (RA) on 11 July 2001. She was awarded military occupational specialty (MOS) 92F (petroleum supply specialist). She was honorably released from active duty on 31 January 2005, by reason of pregnancy, and was transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group (Individual Ready Reserve). She was credited with completing 3 years, 6 months, and 20 days of active service.
2. She again enlisted in the RA on 23 April 2008 and 13 November 2009. She held MOS 92F. She was honorably discharged on 12 November 2013. She was credited with completing 5 years, 6 months, and 20 days of active service. Her DD Form 214 lists in:
* Item 12f (Foreign Service) zero credit
* Item 18 (Remarks) "Service in Qatar 20090315-20100315"
3. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), in effect at the time, governed the preparation of the DD Form 214. It stated the DD Form 214 would be prepared for all personnel at the time of their retirement, discharge, or release from active duty. The regulation stated item 12f would list credit for all foreign service completed during the period covered by the DD Form 214.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant served in Qatar from 15 March 2009 through 15 March 2010, a period of 1 year and 1 day. Therefore, item 12f of her DD Form 214 should be corrected to show a credit of 1 year and 1 day of foreign service credit.

Item 12f (Foreign Service) of the applicant's DD Form 214 shows an entry of 0000 year(s), 00 month(s), and 00 day(s). Soldiers may receive both the GWOTEM and the GWOTSM if they meet the requirements for both awards; however, the same period of service establishing one cannot be used to justify service eligibility for the other. Paragraph 2-4 of Army Regulation 635-5 also indicates that for an active duty Soldier deployed with his or her unit during their continuous period of active...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110008096
The applicant requests, in effect, correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the ending period 2 November 2003 to show the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal (GWOTEM) and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOTSM). The applicant's military service records do not contain documentation showing award of the GWOTEM or the GWOTSM. Army Regulation 635-5 states, in item 18, for an active duty Soldier deployed with his or her unit...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2008 | 20080011654
The applicant states that the entry that shows her foreign service is incorrect because it does not show that while she was assigned to the 410th Military Police Company at Fort Hood, Texas, she deployed to Egypt in 2001, in support of Operation Bright Star, and also served in Qatar and Iraq during the 2002-2003 time frame. An electronic mail (e-mail) from The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), Indianapolis, Indiana, dated 8 September 2008, confirms that the applicant received...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090005501
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his foreign service. Since HFP/IDP is paid for the whole month regardless of the date the Soldier arrives in the HFP/IDP designated area and since his pay records show that he received HFP/IDP from September 2007 to January 2008, the applicant's period of service in Qatar is consistent with his pay records at DFAS. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to show he served in...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2009 | 20090006922
She also requests correction of her Officer Record Brief (ORB) to show Qatar as her "last" assignment instead of showing it as the "current" assignment. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to show she served in Qatar from 30 April 2007 to 5 March 2008 and is entitled to correction of her DD Form 214 to show this foreign service. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by adding the entry "SERVICE IN QATAR FROM...

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.
