4. The applicant was promoted to the rank and grade of SP4 E-4 on 1 May 1980. The applicant was placed on the temporary disability retired list (TDRL) in the grade of SP4 on 27 August 1980. His DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) shows his rank and pay grade as SP4 E-4. A 12 August 1980 DA Form 3713 (Data for Retired Pay) shows his retired grade as SP4.

as PFC.

CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was permanently retired in the pay grade of E-4 with a 40 percent disability on 1 March 1982.
