Item 11 of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 8 May 2004 shows the entry "92A3O Y2 AUTOMATED LOGISTICAL SPECIALIST – 1 YR 3 MOS//NOTHING FOLLOWS."

3.  He was promoted to sergeant first class effective 25 February 2006.

4.  His DA Form 1059 (Service School Academic Evaluation Report), dated 11 June 2010, shows he completed the 92A4O Automated Logistical Specialist Course.

6.  He was ordered to active duty on 13 June 2013 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.  He served in Afghanistan from 13 August 2013 to 10 May 2014.

7.  He provided two DA Forms 2166-8 covering the periods 31 January 2013 through 30 January 2014 and 31 January 2014 through 1 May 2014 showing he served in MOS 92A4O during his assignment in Afghanistan.

8.  On 20 June 2014, he was honorably released from active duty.

9.  Item 11 of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 June 2014 shows the entry "92S4O SHWR/LNDRY/CLTHG – 1 YRS 0 MOS//NOTHING FOLLOWS."

10.  He provided his Personnel Qualification Record, dated 9 February 2015, showing his primary MOS as 92S4 and his secondary MOS as 92A4.

11.  Army Regulation 635-8 (Separation Processing and Documents) prescribes policy and procedural guidance relating to transition management.  Chapter 5 provides that the DD Form 214 is a summary of the Soldier's most recent period of continuous active duty.  It provides a brief, clear-cut record of all current active, prior active, and prior inactive duty service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge.  Chapter 5 further provides detailed instructions for data required in each block of the DD Form 214.  The instructions for item 11 state to enter the titles of all MOSs awarded and held for at least 1 year during the current period of service and include the number of years and months held for each MOS.  For time determinations, 16 or more days count as a month.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Army Regulation 635-8 states to enter the titles of all MOSs awarded and held for at least 1 year during the current period of service and include the number of years and months held for each MOS in item 11 of the DD Form 214.

2.  The evidence shows:

* the applicant was ordered to active duty from 13 June 2013 to 20 June 2014 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom 
* he held MOS 92A4O and served in this MOS during this period
* the only MOS shown in item 11 of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 June 2014 is 92S4O

3.  It would be appropriate to correct item 11 of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 20 June 2014 to show MOS 92A4O.
