		IN THE CASE OF:	  

		BOARD DATE:	  22 January 2015

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20140018949 


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 removal of a document titled "UNFAVORABLE INFORMATION OF WHICH THE MEMBER CONCERNED HAD PRIOR OFFICIAL KNOWLEDGE" with an effective date 8 March 2007.  (Note: The interactive Personnel Electronics Record Management System (iPERMS) entry of this title is not a single document but a series of documents related to his permanent disqualification under the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP).)

2.  The applicant states he did not go back in the program because he had permanent change of station (PCS) orders within 45 days.  Also, his evidence wasn’t available to him until after the required date.

3.  The applicant provides a copy of a DA Form 2823 (Sworn Statement), dated 24 February 2007.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant, now a staff sergeant, initially enlisted in the Regular Army on 10 October 2001.  

2.  On 23 February 2007, the applicant, then a sergeant, had an altercation with his wife in base housing that resulted in him grabbing her and shoving her out of the housing unit.  

3.  On 28 February 2007, his command notified him that he was being processed for permanent disqualification from the PRP, in accordance with Army Regulation 50-5 (Nuclear and Chemical Weapons and Materiel - Nuclear Surety).  The certifying official stated he felt the applicant was no longer qualified to perform PRP duties based on the Simple Assault charges stemming from the 23 February 2007 incident with his spouse.

4.  On 28 February 2007, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the Notification of Intent to Permanently Disqualify him under the PRP.  He indicated he would be submitting a written explanation/rebuttal not later than 6 March 2007.

5.  On 8 March 2007, based on the applicant's failure to submit a statement, the certifying official stated he felt his decision to permanently disqualify the applicant from the PRP was still valid and referred the case to the reviewing official.

6.  On 8 March 2007, the reviewing official approved the permanent disqualification.

7.  On 27 March 2007, the applicant received nonjudicial punishment (NJP) under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice for simple assault for the incident.  His punishment was reduction to specialist (E-4) and forfeiture of $989.00 pay for one month.  Both were suspended but were automatically vacated on 26 May 2007.

8.  The 24 February 2007 document submitted by the applicant relates to the charge of simple assault.  His wife clarified that although the applicant had grabbed her and pushed her, he had not struck her.  At no time did she feel threatened by her husband and believed the incident was blown out of proportion 

9.  Army Regulation 50-5, paragraph 2-30 states when the certifying official determines that an individual does not meet the reliability standards of this chapter, the certifying official will terminate access to nuclear reactor facilities, special nuclear material, and positive control material, remove the individual from nuclear duties, and permanently disqualify the individual from the PRP.  The certifying official will advise the individual in writing, within 15 working days, of the determination, to include the reasons for initiating permanent disqualification procedures and the requirement for review by the reviewing official.  This written notification will cite specific circumstances that support the certifying official’s decision to disqualify.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  On 23 February 2007, the applicant and his wife were involved in a domestic dispute that resulted in the applicant shoving her out of their base housing unit. This in turn resulted in his receipt of an NJP and the PRP disqualification.
2.  In order to warrant a reversal of PRP disqualification, the processing of the disqualification must be shown to have been flawed or that it was unjust nor disproportionate to the alleged cause for the disqualification.

3.  The record does not contain and the applicant has not provided any evidence to show the action that resulted in both the NJP and the PRP disqualification was improper or inappropriate. 

4.  Based on the above facts and finding no relief is warranted.
