	Ms. Lana E. McGlynn		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 (Report of Separation from Active Duty) with a separation date of 25 August 1969 be corrected to reflect his correct Social Security Number (SSN).  

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that his seventh digit is listed as a “2” and should be “3” on his DD Form 214 with a separation date of 25 August 1969.  In support of his application he submits a copies of his DD Forms 214 and a copy of his Social Security Card.

4.  The applicant’s military records show he enlisted in the Kansas Army National Guard (KSARNG) on 12 November 1966.  He was ordered to active duty for training (ADT) on 13 May 1967 and was released from ADT on 5 November 1967 and returned to control of the KSARNG.  He was ordered to active duty (AD) 
in the KSARNG on 13 May 1968 and was released from AD and returned to control of the KSARNG on 25 August 1969.  All of his enlistment documents and other military records reflect the seventh digit of his SSN as a “3”.

5.  Item 3 (Social Security Number) of the applicant’s DD Form 214 with a separation date of 5 November 1967 shows his seventh digit as “3”.  

6.  Item 3 (Social Security Number) of the applicant’s DD Form 214 with a separation date of 25 August 1969 shows his seventh digit as “2”.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s SSN was incorrectly entered on his DD Form 214 with a separation date of 25 August 1969, in that, the seventh digit was incorrectly entered as “2” instead of “3”.  Therefore, his DD Form 214 with a separation date of 25 August 1969 should be corrected to show his seventh digit as “3”.

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 the individual concerned be corrected by showing the seventh digit of his SSN as a “3” in item 3 (Social Security Number) on his DD Form 214 with a separation date of 25 August 1969.
