RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

	BOARD DATE:    26 April 2019

	DOCKET NUMBER:  AR20170012608


APPLICANT REQUESTS:  in effect, correction of item 19a (Mailing Address After Separation) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty), ending 17 July 2017.

APPLICANT'S SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD:  

* DD Form 149 (Application for Correction of Military Record)

FACTS:

1.  The applicant states that since retiring he has settled at his permanent residence.  He would like the address on his DD Form 214 changed from the address at Fort Belvoir to his current address in Leesburg, VA so that any correspondence is routed to the proper address.

2.  The applicant's DD Form 214 for the period 16 August 2007 through 17 July 2017 shows he was medically retired.  Item 19a of his DD Form 214 shows his mailing address after separation as, "Fort Belvoir Virginia."

3.  Army Regulation 635-8 (Separation Processing and Documents) states that the entry in block 19a (Mailing Address After Separation) is a data source provided by the Soldier.  This address must be a permanent address.  Enter street address, city, state, and zip code. 

BOARD DISCUSSION:

After reviewing the application and all supporting documents, the Board determined that relief was not warranted.  Because the DD Form 214 is a document that depicts the information relating to applicant at the time of discharge and the address change occurred post-service, the Board concluded there was no error or injustice which warranted a correction to the record.  For that reason, the Board recommended denying the applicant’s request for relief.


BOARD VOTE:

Mbr 1	Mbr 2	Mbr 3

:	:	:	GRANT FULL RELIEF

:	:	:	GRANT PARTIAL RELIEF

:	:	:	GRANT FORMAL HEARING

X	X	X	DENY APPLICATION

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.
