BOARD DATE:	  6 May 2014

		DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20130015510 


THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE:

1.  Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any).

2.  Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any).


THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant requests that his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show a primary specialty of 35F1O – Tactical Intelligence Analyst in item 11 (Primary Specialty).

2.  The applicant states that he was discharged due to a knee injury before he could complete his advanced individual training (AIT).  He continues by stating that he actually completed his AIT but could not pass a physical fitness test.  He also states that having the military occupational specialty (MOS) on his DD Form 214 would help him in gaining employment.

3.  The applicant provides copies of his DD Form 214, college transcripts, and his Department of Veterans Affairs Rating Decision.

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

1.  The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 24 March 2011 for a period of  3 years and 27 weeks and training as a tactical intelligence analyst (35F1O).

2.  He completed his basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and was transferred to Fort Huachuca, Arizona to undergo his AIT in MOS 35F1O. 

3.  On 21 November 2011, he was honorably discharged due to unsatisfactory performance.  He had served 7 months and 28 days of active service and had not completed his AIT and thus was not awarded an MOS.

4.  Army Regulation 635-5 at the time served as the authority for the preparation of the DD Form 214.  It provided, in pertinent part, that only completed courses that are 1 week (40 hours) or more in duration will be entered on the DD Form 214.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant’s contentions and supporting documents have been noted and found to lack merit.

2.  Notwithstanding the circumstances, the applicant did not complete his AIT and was not awarded a primary MOS. 

3.  Accordingly, he is not eligible to have completion of his AIT or an MOS added to his DD Form 214 as there is no eror or injustice in his case.
