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, in effect, that his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) issued on 8 April 1997, be corrected by deleting from item 19a (mailing address after separation) 2617 Protour Drive, Belleville, Illinois 6221-0000, and adding 625E. 18th Way, Burley, Idaho 83318-2637.  He also requests that item 19b (the address and name of his nearest relative) be corrected by deleting Linda Arnouts, 9049 Stebbins, Montague, Michigan 
49437 and adding his father, Dean R. Searle, 625E 18th Way, Burley, Idaho 83318-2637.

3.  The applicant's military record shows that he served honorably in the Regular Army from 15 July 1993-8 April 1997.  He was separated under the provisions of chapter 4, Army Regulation 635-40, for disability, severance pay, as a result of a back injury received while serving in Haiti.

4.  Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the policy for separation documents that are prepared for individuals upon discharge or release from active military service.
