ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 7 October 2019 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20170017356 APPLICANT REQUESTS: correction of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to reflect: * annual training dates * active duty time as a Drill Sergeant APPLICANT'S SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD: DD Form 149 (Application for Correction of Military Record) FACTS: 1. The applicant did not file within the three year time frame provided in Title 10, United States Code (USC), section 1552(b); however, the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) conducted a substantive review of this case and determined it is in the interest of justice to excuse the applicant's failure to timely file. 2. The applicant states, she completed numerous annual trainings with 3398th United States Army Reception Battalion, Detachment 2 as an administrative specialist, located in Kinston, North Carolina. She was on orders as an active duty Drill Sergeant with the 108th Division (Training). No supporting documents were available for review. 3. A review of the applicant’s service records shows the following: a. She enlisted in the United States Army Reserve on 4 June 1982. b. Her DA Form 214 reflects she was honorably Relieved from Active Duty Training on 1 December 1982, under the provisions of Army Regulation (AR) 635-200 for reserve component completion of MOS training. She had 5 months and 10 days of active service. c. Her DA Form 2-1 (Personnel Qualification Record) reflect she served in the 3398th United States Army Reception Battalion, as a: * Clerk Typist (USAR-Ready) starting 22 December 1982 * Unit Clerk Typist (USAR-Ready) starting 15 February 1986 * Drill Sergeant (USAR-Ready) starting 1 October 1987 d. Her active duty training orders reflect she was ordered to active duty training for a period of: * 2 days from 27 October 1984 to 28 October 1984 * 2 days from 1 December 1984 to 2 December 1984 * 2 days from 12 January 1985 to 13 January 1985 * 2 days from 9 February 1985 to 10 February 1985 * 3 days from 12 March 1985 to 14 March 1985 e. On 1 June 1988, she reenlisted into the USAR. Her DD Form 4 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document), item 7a (Total Active Military Service) reflects 5 months and 10 days, the same as her DD Form 214, dated 1 December 1982. Item 7b (Total Inactive Military Service) reflects she had 5 years, 6 months and 18 days of inactive service. f. On 21 June 1994, she was honorably discharged from the USAR under the provisions of AR 135-178 (Enlisted Administrative Separations). g. The applicant did not provide any evidence to support her claim, as listed on the DD Form 149. 4. 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. The information entered thereon reflects the conditions as they existed at the time of separation. 5. By regulation AR 135-200, the term ‘‘active duty’’ means full-time duty in the active military service of the United States. Such term includes full-time training duty, annual training duty, and attendance, while in the active military service, at a school designated as a service school by law or by the Secretary of the military department concerned. Such term does not include full-time National Guard duty. BOARD DISCUSSION: After reviewing the application and all supporting documents, the Board found relief was not warranted. The applicant’s contentions were carefully considered. Evidence of record shows the requested relief occurred after the period covered by the DD Form 214. The Board also wished to inform the applicant that a DD Form 214 only annotates active duty service; all USAR duty is not reflected on a DD Form 214. The Board found no evidence that the applicant served a period or periods of active duty of sufficient length to require the issuance of a DD Form 214. As a result, the Board found insufficient evidence to make a change to the applicant’s record. 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. 12/16/2019 X CHAIRPERSON Signed by: 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.
