	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

                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 service number (SN) on his separation document (DD Form 214) be corrected.

3.  The applicant states, the SN incorrectly shows the number “6” as the sixth digit and should be a “4”.

4.  The applicant’s reconstructed military records show that he was inducted on 16 January 1951 as a private E-1.  

5.  He served continuously until his honorable discharge in pay grade E-2 on 5 December 1952.

6.  The SN listed on his separation document shows the sixth digit as “6” instead of “4”. 

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The applicant is entitled to correction to his SN on his separation document.  The sixth digit was erroneously entered.  

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 be corrected by showing the sixth digit as a “6” in the service number of the individual concerned on his DD Form 214.
