	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Ms. Stephanie Thompkins		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Elizabeth Buchanon		Chairperson	
	Mr. Raymond J. Wagner		Member	
	Mr. James P. Steuve		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests correction to his social security number (SSN) and rank on his DD Form 214 (Separation Document).

3.  The applicant states his SSN and rank are correct on his discharge certificate but not on his separation document.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he was inducted into the Army on 9 November 1965.  He was promoted to private first class (E-3), permanent on 15 May 1966 and specialist four (E-4), temporary on 4 November 1966.  

5.  He was discharged on 11 September 1967 and transferred to the USAR Control Group in the rank of E-4.  

6.  He was discharged from the USAR effective 14 January 1969 in the rank of 
E-4. 

7.  His induction documents and other documents in his records do not list his SSN.

8.  His discharge certificate lists the same SSN as shown on his social security card.  The same SSN is not shown on his separation document from the Army.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s separation document should be corrected to show his correct social security number as shown on his social security card.

2.  The evidence of record confirms that his separation document and discharge certificate correctly shows his rank as E-4.

3.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing the correct social security number of the individual concerned on his separation document.

2.  That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied
