	IN THE CASE OF: 

	BOARD DATE:  15 February 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999027438

	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. Paul A. Petty		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Fred Eichorn		Chairperson	
	Ms. Karol A. Kennedy		Member	
	Mr. Roger Able		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 last name on her records be changed to her new married name.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that she married in 1997 just prior to transfer to the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL).  She submitted a request and marriage certificate and request for the name change but it has not been changed on her military and finance records.  She provides a copy of her marriage record, her orders transferring her to the TDRL, and letters from Defense Finance and Accounting directing her to apply to this Board for change of her last name to her current married name.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she, an E-4, was transferred from her active duty assignment in Germany to the TDRL effective 5 December 1997 due to a physical disability.  She was married to an American in Germany on 28 November 1997.  At this time, the applicant is still on the TDRL and receiving retired pay.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s military and finance records should be changed to show her new married name according to her marriage record.

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 for the individual concerned by changing her last name on her military records maintained by the Enlisted Records Center TDRL Records Custodian and on her finance records maintained by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service – Cleveland Center, to show her new married name according to her marriage record dated 28 November 1997; and issue her a new military ID card from her supporting installation showing her new married name.
