MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:       

	BOARD DATE:            25 January 2001
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR2000045843

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Jessie B. Strickland		Analyst	

The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. June Hajjar		Chairperson	
	Mr. Lester Echols		Member	
	Ms. Karen A. Heinz		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
            records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  Correction of his report of separation (DD Form 214) dated 11 June 1967.

APPLICANT STATES:  That his DD Form 214 has his date of rank (DOR) and date of entry on active duty reversed and that his DOR should be 8 February 1967 and his date of entry on active duty should be 6 June 1966.  He further states that he applied for Social Security disability and his claim was denied because of the error.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

He enlisted in the United States Army Reserve (USAR) on 6 February 1966 in the pay grade of E-1 for a period of 6 years.  He was promoted to the pay grade of E-2 on 6 June 1966 and entered active duty for training (ACDUTRA) on 8 February 1967 at Fort Polk, Louisiana.

On 11 June 1967 he was released from ACDUTRA and was returned to his USAR unit in Pensacola, Florida.  He was issued a DD Form 214 at the time of his release, which shows that his DOR in the pay grade of E-2 was 6 June 1966 and that he entered ACDUTRA on 8 February 1967.  He had served 4 months and 4 days of active service during his period of ACDUTRA.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust.  The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.

2.  The applicant’s records clearly show that he was promoted to the pay grade of E-2 on 6 June 1966, prior to his entry on ACDUTRA and that he did not enter ACDUTRA until 8 February 1967.  Accordingly, it appears that the information contained on the DD Form 214 issued to him is correct. 

3.  Inasmuch as the applicant has provided no evidence to dispute the evidence of record, there is no basis for the Board to direct a change to that document.

4.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
