IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 1 October 2015 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20150002182 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 correction her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show her award of the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher. 2. The applicant states she received the award after she signed her DD Form 214 on 4 June 2013, so it had not yet been added to her DD Form 214. 3. The applicant provides copies of the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher certificate and her DD Form 214. CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant accepted an appointment in the U.S. Army Reserve as a Reserve commissioned officer on 30 April 2009 in the Transportation Corps. She entered active duty on 4 May 2009. 2. She provided a copy of an Honorable Order of Saint Christopher certificate, dated 7 June 2013, showing she was duly initiated into the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher as a member of the Order of Transporters. 3. She was honorably released from active duty on 4 August 2013 and was transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group. She was credited with completing 4 years, 3 months, and 1 day of net active service. Her DD Form 214 lists the: * Army Commendation Medal (2nd Award) * Army Achievement Medal (2nd Award) * National Defense Service Medal * Afghanistan Campaign Medal with two bronze service stars * Global War on Terrorism Service Medal * Army Service Ribbon * North Atlantic Treaty Organization Medal 4. Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards) prescribes Department of the Army (DA) policy, criteria, and administrative instructions concerning and individual and unit military awards. The regulation does not include provisions for the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher. 5. The Transportation Corps Regimental Association, Fort Eustis, VA, states during the Transportation Corps Week 98, the Chief of Transportation approved the Military Order of Saint Christopher to recognize those individuals who have made significant contribution to the U.S. Army Transportation Corps. The Order of Saint Christopher was established with two levels, the Ancient Order and the Honorable Order. The Honorable Order of Saint Christopher recognizes those individuals who have demonstrated the highest standards of integrity and moral character, displayed an outstanding degree of professional competence, and served the Transportation Corps with selflessness. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The applicant was awarded the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher on 7 June 2013 by the Chief of Transportation in recognition of her service to the Transportation Corps. This recognition is not listed on her DD Form 214. Only Federally-recognized individual and unit awards are listed on the DD Form 214. The Honorable Order of Saint Christopher does not meet this criterion.
