	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. Loren G. Harrell		Director	
	Mr .Lee Cates		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. George D. Paxson		Chairperson	
	Mr. Arthur A. Omartian		Member	
	Mr. James E. Anderholm		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 records be corrected to show his military occupational specialty (MOS) was 63H (Track Vehicle Repairer).

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that he desires his MOS be corrected on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), dated       29 March 1989.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that the applicant entered active duty on 22 October 1985.  He completed his required training and was awarded MOS 63H.

5.  On 29 March 1989, he was separated from active duty under Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 16-5b, based on a locally imposed bar to reenlistment.  His service was characterized as honorable.  His MOS was erroneously shown as 91A (Medic).

6.  Army Regulation 635-5 (Personnel Separations – Separation Documents) indicates, in pertinent part, that the DD Form 214 of the individual concerned will include the primary MOS and all additional MOS served for a period of one year or more, during the soldier’s continuous active military service.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  The evidence of record shows the applicant was awarded MOS 63H effective 18 March 1986 and his records should be corrected accordingly.

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:

a.  by deleting MOS 91A from item 11;of the DD Form 214, dated             29 March 1989, of the individual concerned;

b.  by adding MOS 63H to item 11; and

c.  by adding “Track Vehicle Repairer Course”, 17 weeks, 1986” to item 14.
