	BOARD DATE:            24 March 1999
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999022195

	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. Wanda L. Waller		Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. James E. Vick		Chairperson	
	Mr. Roger W. Able		Member	
	Mr. Allen L. Raub		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 that her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release from Active Duty) be corrected to reflect her attendance at the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC) in 1984.  

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that she attended the PLDC in Germany and it was not included on her DD Form 214.  In support of her application, she submits a copy of her certificate of completion dated 3 February 1984.     

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted on 4 April 1979, trained as a food service specialist, and was honorably discharged in the grade of E-5 on 14 May 1985.  Her DD Form 214 does not reflect her attendance at the PLDC. 

5.  The applicant’s personnel records contain a Service School Academic Evaluation Report, dated 3 February 1984, which indicates that she attended the PLDC from 6 January 1984 to 3 February 1984.   

6.  Army Regulation 635-5 serves as the authority for preparation of the DD Form 214.  It states, in pertinent part, that in-service training courses completed during the period covered by the DD Form 214 will be entered in item 14.  Training courses for combat skills will not be entered. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant attended the PLDC from 6 January 1984 to 3 February 1984. 

2.  The applicant’s DD Form 214 prepared on 14 May 1985 does not properly reflect her attendance at the PLDC.  Accordingly, it would be appropriate to correct her DD Form 214 to reflect this course. 

3.  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 individual concerned attended the PLDC for a period of
4 weeks, in 1984.
