MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION

	IN THE CASE OF:   

	BOARD DATE:            3 February 2000                  
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999034576

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

	Mr. Walter Avery, Jr.		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Margaret K. Patterson		Chairperson	
	Ms. Barbara J. Ellis		Member	
	Mr. Ernest W. Lutz, Jr.		Member	

	The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date.  In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

	The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records 
	           )

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his records and a line of duty report be corrected to reflect that he suffered a seizure while performing his military duties.

APPLICANT STATES:  That on 23 July 1995, he became ill while typing on a computer at Camp Swift, TX.  He states the emergency room said he had suffered a seizure.  

In support of his statement the applicant submitted:   Patient Condition Report, Smithville Regional Hospital Emergency Department Treatment Record, Memorandum for Annual Training Students, copies of assignment orders, NCO-ERs, Statement of Medical Examination and Duty Status and various self authored letters.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records were not available.  Information herein was derived from documents submitted by the applicant.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  The applicant’s primary contention is that on 23 July 1995 medical personnel informed him he had suffered a seizure.  The Smithville Regional Hospital Treatment Record states the applicant had a questionable etiology from anxiety or other unknown cause.  Nowhere is there a diagnosis of seizure, therefore the applicant’s contention that his records and line of duty determination are incorrect is not supported by the available evidence.

2.  In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

BOARD VOTE:
