APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his records be corrected to show he enlisted in the rank and grade of Private First Class (PFC), E-3. It is not clear why the applicant’s guidance counselor would have believed he met the eligibility criteria for promotion to PFC unless the counselor was reading the quality points (95) as the quarter hours earned (46 or 56). Since the available evidence shows the applicant earned only 46 or 56 quarter hours, he was correctly enlisted in the rank and grade of PV2, E-2.
