Therefore, the Board determined the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual concerned. __________x_______________ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case. IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 10 October 2017 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20160002640 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 removal of an entry in the Integrated Web Services (IWS) – Total Army Personnel Database-Reserve (TAPDB-R). 2. The applicant states: a. His current record shows a declination of security clearance in 1990. He did not know this entry was in his record and he did not know the process for removal. b. He held an armorer position with the Alabama Army National Guard (ALARNG) from 2006 to 2010 and the declination was never mentioned. He is currently serving in the Individual Ready Reserve and has applied for a position with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, but he cannot continue the application process with the declination in his file. He believes his character of service will justify the removal of the declination. c. He believes he is guilty of some infraction at the time of the declination, but he also believes the character of his continued service with the ALARNG should be taken into account. He also thinks this is a clerical error since the declination is 25 years old. 3. The applicant provides a copy of his National Guard Bureau Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) for the period ending 15 December 2015. CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. Having prior active service in the Regular Army from 6 September 1984 to 6 June 1988, the applicant enlisted in the ALARNG on 28 November 1988. He was honorably discharged on 16 August 1989. 2. He enlisted in the Regular Army on 18 August 1989 for a period of 4 years. 3. The Retention/Readiness section of his record in IWS – TAPDB-R shows an Automated Entrance National Agency Check investigation was completed on 7 June 1990 and his security eligibility was denied by the Consolidated Adjudication Facility on 12 October 1990. 4. He was absent without leave (AWOL) from 8 June 1990 to 6 November 1990. Charges were preferred against him for the AWOL period. 5. On 8 January 1991, he was discharged under other than honorable conditions for the good of the service in lieu of trial by court-martial. 6. He again enlisted in the ALARNG on 29 April 2003. 7. He was ordered to active duty on 3 January 2004 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. On 18 February 2005, he was honorably released from active duty. 8. On 2 April 2006, he was honorably discharged from the ALARNG. 9. He enlisted in the ALARNG once more on 22 February 2007. 10. He was honorably discharged from the ALARNG and assigned to the U.S. Army Reserve Control Group (Individual Ready Reserve) effective 15 December 2015. 11. There is no evidence showing his security eligibility was approved after 12 October 1990. REFERENCES: Army Regulation 600-8-104 (Army Military Human Resource Records Management) prescribes Army policy for the creation, utilization, administration, maintenance, and disposition of the Army Military Human Resource Record. Paragraph 3-6 provides that once a document is properly filed in the Official Military Personnel File, the document will not be removed from the record unless directed by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records or other authorized agency. DISCUSSION: 1. The evidence shows an Automated Entrance National Agency Check investigation was completed on 7 June 1990 and the applicant's security eligibility was denied by the Consolidated Adjudication Facility on 12 October 1990. This information is contained in the Retention/Readiness section of his record in IWS – TAPDB-R. 2. It appears his security clearance was denied in October 1990 based on his AWOL. 3. He requests removal of the declination of security clearance because it is hindering his employment opportunity with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 4. There is no evidence showing his security eligibility was approved after 12 October 1990. //NOTHING FOLLOWS// ABCMR Record of Proceedings AR20150000953 Enclosure 1 ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ABCMR Record of Proceedings (cont) AR20160002640 2 ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Enclosure 1 ABCMR Record of Proceedings (cont) AR20160002640 3 ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Enclosure 2
