	BOARD DATE:  4 May 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999030852

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

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Luther L. Santiful		Chairperson	
	Ms. Carol J. Suiter		Member	
	Mr. James P. Stueve		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 skill of material supply specialist be added to his DD Form 214 (report of separation).

3.  The applicant states that it is missing from his DD Form 214 and is trying to get college credit for that work experience.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he reenlisted for active duty on 18 September 1979 with 2 years prior service as an infantryman.  He completed 10 weeks training in military specialty (MOS) 76D, material supply specialist, now 76P, material control and accounting specialist.  He was first assigned in that MOS on 10 March 1980.  He continued to be assigned in that MOS until 15 July 1986 when he began assignments as a military policeman.  In May of 1988 his duties were changed to corrections NCO.

5.  Effective 20 June 1992 he was separated from active duty and transferred to the USAR.  His DD Form 214, in block 11 (primary specialty) shows Corrections NCO, 4 years and 2 months and Military Police, 7 years and 2 months.  MOS 76P is not listed.

6.  AR 635-5 provides the policy for preparation of separation documents including the DD Form 214.  For block 11, primary specialty, it specifies that the MOS code, title, and years and months for each MOS will be entered for that period of service.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant served as a material supply specialist, MOS 76P for 3 years and 4 months and is entitled to have it added to his DD Form 214.

2.  Based on the available record, time served in military police should be corrected to show 2 years and 2 months and time as a corrections NCO should be corrected to show 4 years and 1 month.

3.  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 this case for the individual concerned be corrected by changing block 11 of the DD Form 214, issued on 20 June 1992, to read 76P20, Material Control and Accounting Specialist, 6 years, 4 months, 95B20, Military Police, 2 years and 2 months, and 95C20, Corrections NCO, 4 years and 1 month.
