PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           6 January 2000                   
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999029013

	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.  

	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Edward Williamson		Chairperson	
	Mr. John Saputo		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 social security number (SSN) be corrected on her Chapter 8 SF Form 88, Report of Medical Examination and SF Form 93, Report of Medical History.  She also requests information on whether or not her grade at the time of her separation was Private, E-2 or Private First Class (PFC), E-3.

3.  The applicant makes no statement.  

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Regular Army on 12 January 1984.  The SSN as shown on her DD Form 214 is the same SSN as shown on all documents in her records, to include her enlistment documents and all other medical documents except her Chapter 8 SF Forms 88 and 93, both dated 11 March 1985.  Those two documents show the incorrect last digit for her SSN.

5.  The applicant’s DA Form 2-1, Personnel Qualification Record, item 18 shows she was advanced to PFC, E-3 with a date of rank of 23 January 1985.  However, there is no DA Form 4187, Personnel Action on file showing she was advanced to PFC, all her separation documents show her rank as Private, E-2, and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service has no evidence of record to show she was advanced to PFC, E-3.  They do show her grade as E-2 at the time of her separation.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The Board concludes there is a typographical error on the applicant’s Chapter 8 SF Forms 88 and 93 in that they have an incorrect last digit for her SSN.

2.  Although the applicant’s DA Form 2-1 shows her rank as PFC, there is no other evidence of record, either in her personnel records or in her finance records, to show that this was not just an administrative error and she has not supplied any such evidence.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That the SF Forms 88 and 93 dated 11 March 1985 pertaining to the applicant be corrected to show the correct SSN.

2.  That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.
