	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. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr. Lee Cates 		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Celia L. Adolphi 		Chairperson	
	Mr. Van B. Cunningham		Member	
	Mr. Curtis L. Greenway		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 (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That his records be corrected to show award of the Armed Forces Reserve Medal (AFRM) with the mobilization “M” device and to show his address change upon release from active duty.  The analyst notes:  The applicant is still serving in the Army Reserve and should submit the request for the AFRM and the “M” device to his personnel office.  Therefore, those items will not be discussed further.

APPLICANT STATES:  That the authorization for this award was signed after the service period.  Note: The applicant furnished nothing in support of his claim.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

During the period 1 September 1982 to 31 May 1983, when he was disenrolled, the applicant was a cadet in the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps.

A National Guard Bureau Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service), indicates that during the period 23 January 1984 to 1 September 1987, the applicant was a member of the Army National Guard.

A DD Form 214, dated 13 September 1984, indicated the applicant was on active duty for training during the period 16 April to 13 September 1984.

A physical examination, dated 9 May 1990, cleared the applicant for transfer from the US Naval Reserve to the Army Reserve.  Information on this examination indicates the applicant had been a member of the Naval Reserve for 2 years.

On 15 May 1990, the applicant enlisted in the Army Reserve for a period of        3 years.

On 21 February 1993, the applicant reenlisted in the Army Reserve for a period of 3 years.

On 3 December 1995, the applicant reenlisted in the Army Reserve for a period of 6 years.

Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) states, in pertinent part, that “the mailing address and county of residence furnished by the individual at time of separation” will be entered on the DD Form 214.

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.  There is no error in the address provided upon separation from active duty.  Therefore, he is not entitled to a change of address on his DD Form 214.

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.
