	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 a printed copy of her DD Form 214 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) for the period 29 November 1974 through 
16 February 1975.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that she only received a handwritten 
DD Form 214 and has never received a printed DD Form 214 for her Active Duty for Training (ADT) at Fort Jackson from 29 November 1974 through 16 February 1975.  She states that she needs this form for Veterans Administration services and other business.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the USAR on 13 July 1974 for a three year term of service.  She was assigned to the 12th Preventive Medicine Unit (Prvnt Med Unit) in Beloit, Wisconsin.  She was ordered to ADT at Fort Jackson for basic training by orders number T-09-0273, issued by Headquarters Fifth United States Army, dated 17 September 1974.  The report date to Fort Jackson was 29 November 1974.  According to her DA Form 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record), she reported to Fort Jackson as ordered.  Her duty Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) was listed as 09E00, Trainee.  She was assigned to Company B, 18th Battalion, 5th Brigade.  Her basic training began on 6 December 1974.  On 14 February 1975, Headquarters United States Army Training Center and Fort Jackson, issued orders number 35 releasing the applicant from active duty on 16 February 1975 and returning her to her Reserve unit on 17 February 1975.  A DD Form 220 (Active Duty Report) was issued by the Fort Jackson Transfer Point on 14 February 1975 showing that the applicant entered active duty on 29 November 1974 and was released from active duty on 16 February 1975, a period of 10 weeks according to box 11 of the 
DD Form 220.  However, the exact number of days for this period is 80 days which should be shown in box 11 of the form.  Box 12 of the form is not completed and should show her Reserve unit and her home of record address.  Her Reserve unit was the 12th Prvnt Med Unit (Svc Fld), 2426 Prairie Ave., Beloit, WI 53511.  Her home of record was 7008 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL  60626. Her rank upon release from active duty was PV2 (Private, pay grade E-2).  Her Primary MOS upon release from active duty was 09E00, Trainee.

5.  The applicant’s record does contain a draft DD Form 214 filled in by hand for the period above.  This form does not show the name or signature of an authorizing officer nor the signature of the applicant where these items should appear on the form.

6.  The applicant was again ordered to ADT to attend Advance Individual Training for MOS 71C, Stenographer, to begin on 30 May 1975 at Fort Harrison.  She did not complete the training and was released from ADT back to her Reserve unit on 23 July 1975.  A DD Form 220 was issued for this period of active service.
7.  On 7 September 1975, the applicant was honorably discharged from the Army Reserve under authority of AR 135-178 (Army National Guard and Reserve Separation of Enlisted Personnel), paragraph 4-9 (Marriage and Pregnancy).

8.  According to AR 635-5 (Separation Documents), paragraph 1-3a(3), the 
DD Form 214 is given to members of the Reserve components who serve on ADT for 90 days or more.  For those who serve less than 90 days, a DD Form 220 is issued.  According to AR 135-210, the DD Form 220 is corrected by issuing a new DD Form 220 marked “Corrected Copy”.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant was on ADT for two periods, 29 November 1974 through 
16 February 1975 for basic training, and 30 May 1975 through 23 July 1975 for AIT MOS training.  DD Forms 220 were issued for both periods of active duty.  Both periods were for less than 90 days each, so a DD Form 214 is not authorized for either period.

2.  The DD Form 220 for the period 29 November 1974 through 16 February 1975 shows the length of tour to be 10 weeks instead of the exact number of days it should show, 80 days.  The form also does not show the required information in box 12, her Reserve unit and home of record address.  This 
DD Form 220 should be corrected to show the correct number of days on active duty, her Reserve unit, and her home of record address.

3.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected for the individual concerned by correcting her DD Form 220 for the period 29 November 1974 through 16 February 1975 to show:

a.  in box 11, the tour length as 80 days;

b.  in box 12, her Reserve unit as 12th Prvnt Med Unit (Svc Fld), 
2426 Prairie Ave., Beloit, WI 53511; and

c.  in box 12, her home of record address as 7008 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL  60626.

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