IN THE CASE OF: BOARD DATE: 21 October 2021 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20210007021 APPLICANT REQUESTS: Reconsideration of the previous Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) decision as promulgated in Docket Number AR20190009964 on 27 January 2020. Specifically, he requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show his active duty service performed during 2001 and 2002. APPLICANT'S SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD: * DD Form 149 (Application for Correction of Military Record Under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552), dated 15 January 2021 * ABCMR Docket Number AR2019000, dated 27 January 2020 * ABCMR Decision Letter, dated 28 April 2020 * Screenshot of Retirement Detail History, dated 17 January 2021 FACTS: 1. Incorporated herein by reference are military records that were summarized in the previous consideration of the applicant's case by the ABCMR in Docket Number AR2019000 on 27 January 2020. 2. The applicant states he is requesting reconsideration based on new evidence of active duty performance. 3. The applicant enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 29 December 1979. His Reserve Obligation Termination Date was established as 28 December 1985. 4. The applicant entered active duty for training (ADT) on 24 January 1980 for the purpose of completing his initial entry training. He was released from active duty on 13 May 1980 and returned to the control of the USAR. His DD Form 214 shows he was credited with 3 months and 20 days of net active service this period. 5. The applicant was discharged from the USAR on or about 28 December 1985; however, his USAR discharge order is not available for review. 6. The applicant enlisted in the Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) on 31 May 1995 for a period of six years. His National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22 (Report of Separation and Record of Service) shows he was honorably discharged on 30 May 20XX. 7. On 12 April 2004, Headquarters, 94th Regional Readiness Command, issued Orders 04-1XX-0000X discharging him from the USAR effective the date of the orders. The available records do not indicate when this period of service in the USAR began. 7. An NGB Form 22 shows the applicant reenlisted in the MAARNG on 2 November 2005 and was honorably discharged on 19 December 2008. 8. The applicant reenlisted in the MAARNG on 23 November 2009 for a period of two years. He was honorably discharged from the MAARNG on 22 November 2011, under the provisions of National Guard Regulation (NGR) 600-200 (Enlisted Personnel Management System), paragraph 6-25a, for expiration term of service. He was credited with two years of net service this period. 9. The available records are void of any evidence the applicant was ordered to active duty after his initial period of ADT for 90 days or more of continuous active duty. 10. The applicant provides a screenshot of his inactive duty training and ADT performed from 9 June 2001 to 8 September 2002; however, his record is void of documentation that substantiates continuous active duty service of 90 days or more between 30 May 2001 and 2 November 2005. BOARD DISCUSSION: 1. After reviewing the application and supporting documentation, the Board found relief is not warranted. 2. The Board noted that a DD Form 214 is only issued for Reserve Component Soldiers under certain circumstances such as completion of initial ADT that results in the award of a military occupational specialty or at the end of a period of continuous active duty service of 90 days or more. Other than completion of initial ADT for which he received a DD Form 214, the Board found no additional periods of active duty service requiring that a DD Form 214 be issued. The Board determined there is no basis for issuing the applicant an additional DD Form 214. 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 that the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis to amend the decision of the ABCMR set forth in Docket Number AR2019000XXXX, dated 27 January 2020. 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. REFERENCES: 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 Army. It established standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214. It provided that the DD Form 214 is a synopsis of the Soldier's most recent period of continuous active service. It provides a brief, clear-cut record of active Army service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge. A DD Form 214 will be prepared for each Soldier as indicated: a. Active Army Soldiers on termination of active duty by reason of administrative separation (including separation by reason of retirement or expiration of term of service), physical disability separation, or punitive discharge under the Uniform Code of Military Justice; b. Reserve Component (RC) Soldiers completing 90 days or more of continuous ADT, Full-Time National Guard Duty, active duty for special work, temporary tours of active duty, or Active Guard Reserve service. Also, RC Soldiers separated for cause or physical disability regardless of the length of time served on active duty; c. ARNG and USAR Soldiers mobilized under Title 10, USC, Sections 12301(a), 12302, or 12304, and ARNG Soldiers called into Federal service under Title 10, USC, Chapter 15 or Section 12406, regardless of length of mobilization, when transitioned from active duty. A Soldier who reports to a mobilization station and is found unqualified for active duty will be excluded from this provision. He or she will only receive a DD Form 220 (Active Duty Report); and d. RC Soldiers completing initial ADT that results in the award of a military occupational specialty even when the active duty period was less than 90 days. This includes completion of advanced individual training under the ARNG of the U.S. Alternate Training Program or USAR Split Training Program. //NOTHING FOLLOWS// ABCMR Record of Proceedings (cont) AR20210007021 4 ARMY BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 1
