She served as a logistics officer and quartermaster officer. On 31 July 2010, she retired in the rank of major. 2. Item 18 of her DD Form 214 for the period ending 31 July 2010 shows the entry "SERVICE IN IRAQ 20060920-20070921." 3. She provided permanent change of station orders, dated 7 May 2007, for assignment to Kuwait which included a 12-month temporary change of station (TCS) to Iraq/Afghanistan in support of the Army Transition Team mission with a reporting date of 25 September 2007. 4. She also provided orders, dated 14 September 2007, which show she was deployed in a TCS status for assignment to Headquarters, Iraqi Assistance Group, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom effective 20 September 2007. 5. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) confirmed the applicant received hostile fire/imminent danger pay and combat zone tax exclusion from 21 September 2007 through 11 September 2008 for service in Kuwait. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. She contends she served in Iraq from 20 September 2007 to 13 September 2008. 2. Her DD Form 214 for the period ending 31 July 2010 shows she served in Iraq from 20 September 2006 to 21 September 2007. However, DFAS confirms she served in Kuwait/Iraq from 21 September 2007 to 11 September 2008.
