	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. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Ms. Gale J. Thomas		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Elzey J. Arledge		Chairperson	
	Ms. Brenda F. Hirschi		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 his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected by including in item 11 (primary specialty) his time spent in Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 95B.

3.  The applicant states that he served in MOS 95B from 20 June 1977 to 19 December 1983, a total of 6 years and 4 months.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he completed advanced individual training and was awarded MOS 95B on 20 June 1977. 

5.  Orders13-150, dated 19 January 1984, awarded the applicant MOS 95C, and withdrew MOS 95B, effective 3 November 1983, not 19 December 1993 as the applicant contends.

6.  Army Regulation 635-5, provides in pertinent part, that the DD Form 214, item 11, should include all military occupational specialties served in for at least one year.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant was awarded MOS 95B on 20 June 1977, and retained that MOS until it was withdrawn on 3 November 1983.  The applicant’s DD Form 214, should reflect MOS 95B, Military Police, and the time spent in that MOS of 6 years and 4 months.  

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 adding in item 11(primary specialty) on the applicant’s DD Form 214 the annotation, “MOS 95B, Military Police, 6 years, 4 months”.
