MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:           29 July 1999                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999015727

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

	Mr. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Charles H. Loundermon		Chairperson	
	Ms. Shirley L. Powell		Member	
	Mr. Curtis L. Greenway		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

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

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That her records be corrected to show all of her enlisted training.

APPLICANT STATES:  That her final DD Form 214 (report of separation) does not show her completion of 8 weeks clerical typing course in 1970, her administrative specialist course in 1974, and her battle staff course in 1976.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

She enlisted and entered active duty on 27 August 1970.  She remained on active duty in an enlisted status until 14 August 1980 when she was discharged in grade E-6 to accept a commission.

Her available record contains 3 DD Forms 214.  The first, for the period 27 August 1970 to 21 May 1973, shows that she attended a clerk typist course for 8 weeks in 1970.  The second, for the period 22 May 1973 to 1 May 1977, shows that she attended her 10 week administrative NCO course in 1974.  Her final DD Form 214 shows no qualifying education completed during that enlistment.

The available record does not contain any evidence that she attended or completed the NCO battle staff course and she provides no documentation in support of her request.

Army Regulation 635-5 provides the policy for preparation of separation documents including the DD Form 214.  In states that the DD Form 214 will reflect military education of 40 or more hours that was successfully completed during that period of service.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy the aforementioned requirement.

2.  Her qualifying education is properly reflected on the appropriate DD Forms 214 and there is no evidence of record that she completed the battle staff course during her last enlistment.

3.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

BOARD VOTE:
