	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. Calvin M. Fowler		Chairperson

	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 date of birth (DOB) and Social Security number (SSN) be corrected on his DD Form 214 (report of separation).

3.  The applicant states that the wrong DOB and SSN are on his DD Form 214.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted on 30 November 1973, served as a radio operator for 1 year, 11 months, and 25 days of active duty, and was separated on 24 November 1975.  His DD Form 214 records his DOB as 28 September 1953 and an incorrect SSN.

5.  The applicant’s enlistment documents, medical records, ID card request, DA Form 2-1 (qualification record), and separation orders show his DOB as 12 May 1956 and his SSN as requested in his DD Form 149.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  An apparent administrative error occurred when the applicant’s DOB and SSN were incorrectly recorded on his DD Form 214.

2.  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 showing that his DOB is 12 May 1956 and his SSN as requested in his DD Form 149.
