elie: sountcting ot
reviewed Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice
on 10 July 2015 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined
that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on
the available evidence of record. Documentary material
considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, naval
records, and applicable statutes, regulations, and policies.
3. The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining
to Petitioner's allegations of error and injustice finds as
Eollows:
a. Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all
administrative remedies available under existing law and
regulations within the Department of the Navy.
b. Although enclosure (1) was not filed in a timely manner,
it is in the interest of justice to waive the statute of
limitations and review the application on its merits.
c. Petitioner enlisted in the Navy and began a period of
active duty on 18 April 1975. She served without disciplinary
incident, however, she was repeatedly counseled regarding her

substandard performance and inability to adapt. As a result,
she was recommended for an administrative separation.
d. On 3 October 1977, Petitioner, while serving in paygrade,
E-1, was discharged under honorable conditions by reason of
convenience of the government and assigned an RE-4 reenlistment
code.
e. At the time of Petitioner’s discharge, she was issued a
DD Form 214 that was not properly filled out, specifically, it
was missing information. In this regard, the DD Form 214 did
not reflect Petitioner’s rate of AA (block 6a), paygrade of E-1
(block 6b), selective service number and its city/state (blocks
8a and 8b), authority and reason of Convenience of the
government, BUPERSMAN 3850220, JHJ (block 8c), and reenlistment
code of RE-4 (block 10).
f£. In Petitioner’s application, she implies that the
corrected DD Form 214 is required for veteran's benefits,
specifically, treatment for her diagnosed post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD).
CONCLUSION :
f
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action. The Board especially notes the incomplete DD Form 214
and believes that Petitioner may be denied veterans’ benefits
based on the missing information. In this regard, the Board
directs the issuance of an updated and corrected DD Form 214
which reflects the missing information.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner's naval record, specifically, the DD Form
214, be updated/corrected to reflect all information necessary
for completion of the form.
b. That Petitioner be issued a “new” DD Form 214 which
reflects the foregoing changes.
c. That a copy of this report of proceedings be filed in
Petitioner’s naval record, along with the previously issued DD
Form 214 which reflects the corrected date of birth.
ES
Docket No: 6610-14
d. That upon request, the Department of Veterans Affairs be
informed that Petitioner’s application was received in April
2015°.
4, Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the revised Procedures of the
Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 723.6(c), it is certified that a quorum was
present at the Board's review and deliberations, and that the
foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board's
proceedings in the above entitled matter.
