PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:  15 June 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999024562

	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. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Orville W. Troesch		Chairperson	
	Ms. Margaret V. Thompson		Member	
	Ms. Kathleen A. Newman		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 or Discharge from Active Duty) be changed to show that she was not married.

3.  The applicant states that she has never been married.  She submits a notarized statement that she has never been married.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she was on active duty from 23 July 1963 to 8 September 1965.  Her DD Form 214, issued on 8 September 1965, shows, in block 9 (marital status), that she was married.

5.  There is no evidence in the available record that she has ever been married.  Additionally, she signed a sworn statement that she has never been married.  She is currently serving on active duty in the grade of E-9.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  It appears that block 9 of the DD Form 214, issued on 8 September 1965, was in error when it showed that the applicant was married.  The applicant is entitled to a correction of block 9 of the DD Form 214 to show that she was single.

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 for the individual concerned be corrected by issuing a correction to her DD Form 214, issued on 8 September 1965, to show that she was single.
