	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. Curtis W. Barbee		Chairperson	
	Ms. Elizabeth Buchanon 		Member	
	Mr. Raymond J. Wagner		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 primary military occupational specialty (MOS), overseas service, award of the Army Achievement Medal and military education.

3.  The applicant states that he was not an X-Ray Sergeant (MOS 91P), but a Utilities Equipment Repairer (MOS 52C) and Microwave Systems Operator/Repairer (MOS 29V).  Further, he provides evidence of attendance at the schools leading to award of the two MOS requested.  He also provides a copy of the order awarding the Army Achievement Medal (AAM).

4.  The applicant’s military records show that he served in the Army Reserve Delayed Enlistment Program from 17 November 1993 to 2 January 1994.  On 
3 January 1994, he enlisted in the Army, in pay grade E-3, for 5 years and training in MOS 29V.  On 27 September 1994, he completed training in MOS 29V.  On 6 April 1995, he completed training in MOS 52C.

5.  His record shows overseas service in Germany.  There is insufficient evidence to determine the dates of service; however, there is sufficient evidence to determine that he could not have completed a normal overseas tour.

6.  On 12 May 1996, Permanent Order Number 164-01, V Corps Artillery, Wiesbaden, Germany, awarded the applicant the AAM for meritorious achievement and outstanding performance during the period 1 through 26 May 1996.

7.  On 31 October 1996, he was honorably discharged, under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-40, based on a physical disability of 10 percent disabling.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Evidence of record shows the applicant’s primary MOS was 29V and secondary MOS was 52C vice 91P (X-Ray Sergeant (sic)). 

2.  Evidence shows completion of two courses of instruction.

3.  Evidence shows his entitlement to award of the AAM.

4.  Evidence shows he served in Germany; however, there is insufficient evidence to document the period served.

5.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

1.  That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by:

a.  deleting all entries pertaining to MOS “91P100000, X-Ray Sergeant” and the “X-Ray Specialist Course”;

b.  showing his primary specialty as “29V100000, Microwave Systems Operator/Repairer, 3 yrs 1 mo // 52C100000, Utilities Equipment Repairer, 2 yrs 7 mos //NOTHING FOLLOWS”;

c.  showing he was awarded the Army Achievement Medal;

d.  and by showing his military education as “Microwave Systems Operator/Maintenance Course (101-31P10), 26 weeks, Sep 94 and Utilities Equipment Repairer Course (662-52C10), 16 weeks, Apr 95"

2.  That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied
