Board Determination/Recommendation 2. Evidence and Consideration IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 7 June 2018 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20160014251 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). 2. Military Personnel Records and advisory opinions (if any). THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant requests the issuance of a DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) which encompasses her entire service career, to include her U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) active duty training days. 2. The applicant states: a. Over her 20-year USAR career, she completed 104 weekend drill days per year, equaling a total of 2,080 total days. She completed 60 days of advanced training as a medical officer, which was time spent on active duty. She also completed 14 days per year of annual training on active duty, which amounted to 280 days over her career. b. These days combined amount to 7.17 years of her life served on active duty for the USAR and she feels it should be accounted for on a DD Form 214 since she retired on 13 June 2016. 3. The applicant provides no additional evidence. CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant was appointed a Reserve Commissioned Officer in the Army of the United States in the rank of second lieutenant on 18 January 1983. 2. A USAR Personnel Command memorandum, dated 19 February 2003, notified her of her eligibility for retired pay at age 60 based on her completion of 20 qualifying years of service. 3. A DA Form 5016 (Chronological Statement of Retirement Points), dated 21 April 2016, shows a. Her 20 years of qualifying service for retirement was all served in a USAR Troop Program Unit (TPU). b. The maximum amount of active duty points she accumulated in any single year over her USAR career was 48. The remaining years fluctuate between 0, 7, 8, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 24 active duty points accumulated per year. c. She was transferred from a USAR TPU to the USAR Retired Reserve on 1 November 2003. 4. U.S. Army Human Resources Command Orders C04-693480, dated 21 April 2016, placed her on the Army of the United States Retired List effective 13 June 2016. 5. A review of her Official Military Personnel File does not reveal she was ever issued a DD Form 214, nor does it contain evidence of any continuous active duty for training service of 90 days or longer or mobilized service. REFERENCES: 1. Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents), in effect at the time, prescribed the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Active Army. a. The DD Form 214 is a synopsis of the Soldier's most recent period of continuous active duty. b. The DD Form 214 will be prepared for Reserve component Soldiers completing 90 days or more of continuous active duty for training and for USAR Soldiers mobilized under sections 12301(a), 12302, or 12304 of Title 10, U.S. Code, regardless of length of mobilization, when transitioned from active duty. 2. Army Regulation 140-185 (Training and Retirement Point Credits and Unit Level Strength Accounting) governs the policy for USAR training and retirement point credit for USAR Soldiers. It states retirement points are credited by activity, either by active service (active duty, active duty for training, and annual training) or by inactive duty service (inactive duty training, both paid and nonpaid, and membership points). Reserve component Soldiers on active duty and annual training are awarded one retirement point for each calendar day they serve in either of those categories. DISCUSSION: 1. The applicant completed 20 years of qualifying service for retirement while serving in a USAR TPU. 2. Her DA Form 5016 shows she never served on active duty for more than 48 days per calendar year throughout her 20 years of USAR service. 3. Regulatory guidance calls for the issuance of a DD Form 214 for Reserve component Soldiers completing 90 days or more of continuous active duty for training and for USAR Soldiers mobilized under sections 12301(a), 12302, or 12304 of Title 10, U.S. Code, regardless of length of mobilization, when transitioned from active duty. 4. A review of her Official Military Personnel File does not reveal she was ever issued a DD Form 214, nor does it contain evidence of any continuous active duty for training service of 90 days or longer or mobilized service which would warrant the issuance of a DD Form 214. BOARD DETERMINATION/RECOMMENDATION: The evidence presented does not demonstrate the existence of a probable error or injustice. Therefore, the Board determined the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual concerned. I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case. //NOTHING FOLLOWS// ABCMR Record of Proceedings (cont) AR20160014251 2 ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ABCMR Record of Proceedings (cont) AR20160014251 3 ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Enclosure 2
