PROCEEDINGS

	IN THE CASE OF:.

	BOARD DATE:            19 April 2000     
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000036116

	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.  

	Ms. Deborah L. Brantley		Senior Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. James P. Huber		Chairperson	
	Mr. Elzey J. Arledge		Member	
	Mr. Van B. Cunningham		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 his Social Security Account Number (SSAN) reflected on his 1969 DD Form 214 be corrected.  He notes that his correct SSAN is 256-_ _-_ _ _ _ vice 253-_ _-_ _ _ _.

3.  Records available to the Board indicate the applicant served on active duty between November 1967 and November 1969.  Subsequent to his release from active duty the applicant continued to actively serve in the Army Reserve.  While documents associated with his initial period of active duty are not in his USAR file, which was made available to the Board, all of his USAR documents reflect a SSAN of 256-_ _-_ _ _ _ although his 1969 DD Form 214 reflects a SSAN of 253-_ _-_ _ _ _. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the SSAN recorded on the applicant's 1969 DD Form 214 was incorrect and as such that document should be corrected to reflect his correct SSAN of 256-_ _-_ _ _ _ vice 253-_ _-_ _ _ _.
                                                                                                             
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 by showing on the applicant's 1969 DD Form 214 that his correct SSAN is 256-_ _-_ _ _ _ vice 253-_ _-_ _ _ _.
