	IN THE CASE OF:  

	BOARD DATE:           7 November 2000                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000042874

	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	
	Mr. Gerald E. Vandenberg		Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. George D. Paxson		Chairperson	
	Mr. Melvin H. Meyer		Member	
	Ms. Paula Mokulis		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 reconsideration of his application to correct his records by showing that he is a school qualified Ranger and that his military occupational specialty (MOS) be shown as 11B1V.

3.  The applicant states that he completed Ranger school and received the MOS 11B1V in 1987 but that it was omitted from his Report of Separation or Discharge (DD Form 214).  His DD Form 214, issued on 16 September 1989 in item 11 shows his MOS as 11B1V, therefore, this will not be discussed further.

4.  The Memorandum of Consideration reflecting the Board’s 7 September 1994 review of the case (AC94-09204) is incorporated herein by reference as if wholly set forth.

5.  The applicant submits a copy of the 22 September 1987 Headquarters, Army Infantry Center, Fort Benning, Georgia, Permanent Orders 183-25 and a Ranger Course diploma.  The orders list the applicant as authorized to wear the Ranger Tab for successful completion of Ranger training with Ranger class 13-87.

6.  These documents were not previously available to the Board and constitute new evidence that requires Board review.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence submitted by the applicant shows that he successfully completed Ranger training and was awarded the Ranger Tab.

2.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusion, correcting the applicant’s records as recommended below would correct an error and rectify an injustice.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected to show that the individual concerned completed Ranger training and is entitled to wear the Ranger Tab.
