	BOARD DATE:            2 December 1999                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999016176

	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	
	Mr. W. E. Schnupp		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms Sherri V. Ward. 		Chairperson	
	Mr. Van B. Cunningham		Member	
	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		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, in effect, that the social security number (SSN) on his DD Form 214, Report of Transfer or Discharge, be corrected.

3.  The applicant states that the SSN on his DD Form 214 dated 7 December 1967 shows the middle two digits as “71”, they should be “72”.  All other digits of the SSN are correct.  In support of his request, he has provided copies of his    DD Forms 214 for service ending on 18 January 1965 and 7 December 1967.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that his DD Form 214 for his first period of service completed on 18 January 1965 shows his SSN with the middle two digits as “72”.  The DD Form 214 for the period of service ending 7 December 1967 shows his SSN with middle digits “71”.

5.  The applicant contends that his correct SSN as shown on the application to this Board contains the middle two digits as “72”.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence shows that the SSN on the applicant’s DD Form 214 dated       7 December 1967 apparently contains a typographical error in that the middle two digits of the SSN are “71’ and should be “72”.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the SSN of the individual concerned, shown of on DD Form 214 dated 7 December 1967, reflect the middle two digits as “72”.
