	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	
	Mrs. Nancy Amos		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. June Hajjar		Chairperson	
	Mr. Hubert O. Fry, Jr.		Member	
	Mr. Richard T. Dunbar		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 her Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, DD Form 214, be corrected to add two awards of the Army Achievement Medal (AAM).

3.  The applicant makes no additional statement.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she enlisted in the Regular Army on 2 October 1995.  She was awarded the AAM on Permanent Order 351-19, 3d Infantry Division (Mechanized) Artillery dated 17 December 1997.  This order is on file in her Official Military Personnel File (OMPF).  She was awarded the AAM 1st oak leaf cluster on Permanent Order 327-06, 703d Main Support Battalion dated 23 November 1998.  This order is not filed in her OMPF.

5.  The applicant was honorably released from active duty on 14 June 2000.  Her DD Form 214 does not list her two awards of the AAM.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows that the applicant was awarded two awards of the AAM and they should have been listed on her DD Form 214.

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

RECOMMENDATION:

That the applicant’s DD Form 214 be amended to show she was awarded two awards of the Army Achievement Medal.
