	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	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Raymond V. O’Connor, Jr.		Chairperson	
	Mr. James P. Huber		Member	
	Mr. Arthur A. Omartian		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 the Materiel Control and Accounting Specialist Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) be added to his DD Form 214.

3.  The applicant states that he did not notice the course was not on his DD Form 214 until he recently retired.

4.  The applicant’s military records are not available.  The information contained herein was obtained from documents provided by the applicant.

5.  The applicant completed the Materiel Control and Accounting Specialist BNCOC in October 1987.  It was an 8-week course.  It is not listed on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 12 May 1988.

6.  Army Regulation 635-5 prescribes the separation documents which are prepared for individuals upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service.  In pertinent part, it states that in-service training courses successfully completed during this period of service will be entered in block 14 (or continued in block 18) of the DD Form 214. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant successfully completed the Materiel Control and Accounting Specialist BNCOC course in 1987.  It should have been entered on his DD Form 214 for the period ending 12 May 1988.

2.  In view of the foregoing, it would be in the interest of justice to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing the applicant completed the Materiel Control and Accounting Specialist Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course and adding to block 18 of his 

DD Form 214 for the period ending 12 May 1988 “Materiel Control and Accounting Specialist Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course 8 weeks (87).”
