  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Hubert O. Fry, Jr.		Chairperson

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	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 records be corrected to show that his date of birth is 24 September 1963. 

3.  The applicant states that the date of birth currently reflected in his records is incorrect.

4.  The applicant has provided a certified Certificate of Live Birth that indicates that his date of birth is 24 September 1963.

5.  The applicant’s military records contain two DD Forms 214 (separation document) and one NGB Form 22 (separation document) that reflect the applicant’s date of birth as 24 September 1962.

6.  AR 635-5 (Separation Documents) and NGR 600-200 (Enlisted Personnel Management) establish the standardized policy for preparing and distributing the DD Form 214 and the NGB Form 22.  In pertinent part, they direct that the date of birth will be entered in the appropriate item of the DD Form 214 and the NGB Form 22.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Evidence of records shows the applicant’s date of birth as 24 September 1963; therefore, he is entitled to a correction of his records to show this date.

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 the date of birth of the individual concerned was 24 September 1963 on the DD Forms 214 and NGB Form 22.
