on 6 duly 1981 as an officer in the Marine Corps after three
years of prior active enlisted service.

£. Tn some situations, a former servicemamber will be provided

the individual served on active duty in the Marine Corps. Such a

reiief, The Board believes that it would be appropriate to
create a document that will show Petitioner’s period of service

Petitioner should set forth her ourrent name and the dates she
gerved in the Marine Corps. However, the Board also believes
that a correction to Petitioner’s DD Porm 214, or any other parts
of the service record, would be inappropriate since those records
correctly show that a man naned RRUMMMMMMMyg served in the
Marine Corps as an enlisted for three years and as an officer
from 6 July 1981 to 1 February 1999. Accordingly, the Board
believes that such a statement of service should be provided to
Petitioner showing her current nawe and the period of service. on
active duty as well as in the Marina Corps Resezve.

In view af the foregoing, the Board finds the existence of an
injustice warranting the following corrective action.

present name and gender.
