5. On 16 January 1990 the applicant was ordered to his initial active duty for training.

6. Army Regulation 601-210 provides the guidance for enlisting individuals in the Regular Army and Army Reserve.  Table 2-3 specifies the pay grade in which to enlist individuals who do not have any prior military service. Rule E(2) of that table specifies that individuals who have successfully completed sixty or more semester hours of an accredited college or university may be enlisted in pay grade E-3.

7. Army Regulation 600-200, paragraph 7-9, then in effect, provided for the advancement of soldiers who should have been enlisted in a higher grade but lacked the documentation to substantiate their eligibility at the time of enlistment.  That paragraph also stated that soldiers who were promoted with a retroactive date of rank would be advised of their right to petition the Board for correction of the effective date of their promotions.
