SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for the Review
of Discharge or Dismissal from the Armed Forces of the United States;
DD Form 293; OMB Control Number 0704-0004.
Needs and Uses: Under Title 10 U.S.C. 1553 and DoD Directive
1332.41, ``Boards for the Correction of Military Records and Discharge
Review Board (DRBs),'' former service members who received an
administrative discharge have the right to appeal the characterization
or reason for separation provided they do so within 15 years from the
date of separation. The DD Form 293, ``Application for Review of
Discharge or Separation from the Armed Forces of the United States,''
is the form that allows former Service members to explain the reasons
for the alleged error and designate legal counsel, and provides DRBs
necessary information to process requests. This information collection
is needed to provide Service members a method to present to their
respective Military Department Discharge Review Boards their reason/
justification for a discharge upgrade, as well as providing the
Military Departments with the basic data needed to process the appeal.
The primary purpose of this information is to identify the arguments of
the respondents and justifications for requested relief and secure
their Official Military Personnel Files from the National Records
Center. In addition, the collection allows the respondent to explain
the reasons for the alleged error or injustice, designate counsel of
choice, select the method of hearing desired, and request a records
review or personal hearing.
