2. The applicant requests, in effect, that his date of rank be adjusted to show that he enlisted in the military as a private (PV2/E-2) on 26 March 2000, and that he was promoted to private first class (PFC/E-3) on 7 October 2000.
3. The applicant states, in effect, that he qualified for enlistment as a PV2/E-2, but the Military Entrance Processing Station failed to process the documents that entitled him to enlist at that pay grade. He submits in support of his request a copy of his DD Form 4/1-4/3 (Enlistment/Reenlistment Document-Armed Forces of the United States) and a copy of a certificate from his high school showing that he completed 3 years of Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFJROTC).
4. The applicant's DD Form 4/1 shows that he enlisted in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) in pay grade E-1 on 26 February 2000. He initialed his DD Form
4/2, Item 13a, to indicate he was made no promises or guarantees.
5. On 26 March 2000, the applicant was discharged from the DEP. On 27 March 2000, he enlisted in the Regular Army (RA) in pay grade E-1 for 3 years. He also enlisted for training in military occupational specialty (MOS) 14S, Avenger Crewman, and for assignment to Korea (Option 9B - US Army Station Unit Command Area Enlistment Program (Korea)).
6. The certificate that the applicant submitted from his high school verifies that he completed 3 years of AFJROTC and, upon completion of high school, he would be authorized the advanced rank of E-3. His Senior JROTC Instructor signed the certificate.
7. In the processing of this case, an advisory opinion was obtained from the Department of the Army, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (ODCSPER) that states the applicant was entitled to enlistment in pay grade E-3, based on the JROTC recommendation from his Senior JROTC Instructor and in accordance with paragraph 2-20, Army Regulation 601-210, as amended. The ODCSPER opinion recommends that the applicant's records be corrected to reflect that he enlisted in the military on 27 March 2000 in pay grade E-3 and that he be granted compensatory back pay. It also recommended that the KEYVIEW Database be corrected to reflect the same. The above advisory opinion was referred to the applicant for comment or rebuttal, but he failed to respond.
8. Paragraph 2-20, Army Regulation 601-210 (Regular Army and Army Reserve Enlistment Program) provides that a high school diploma graduate or high school senior who has taken part in and completed 1 or more years of JROTC or a Defense Cadet Corps Program may enlist in the military at anytime in pay grade E-3.
9. Paragraph 6-2, Army Regulation 140-158 (Enlisted Personnel Classification, Promotion, and Reduction) provides that service members who were eligible for enlistment in an advanced grade in accordance with the above regulation, but did not have the required documentation at the time of enlistment, may be advanced to the proper grade upon presentation of the required documentation. The documents must be present within 1 year from the date of enlistment. The date of rank and the effective date of rank will be the date of the enlistment agreement.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. By regulation, the applicant was entitled to enlist at pay grade E-3 because of his completion of AFJROTC. The Board concurs with the ODCSPER advisory opinion that the applicant's records and the KEYVIEW database be corrected to show that he enlisted in the RA on 27 March 2000 in pay grade E-3 and that he should be provided compensatory back pay.
2. In view of the foregoing, the applicant's records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected:
a. by amending the applicant's DD Form 4/1-2 and the appropriate orders to show that he enlisted in the RA on 27 March 2000 in pay grade E-3;
b. by updating the "KEYVIEW Database" to show that the applicant enlisted in the military on 27 March 2000 in pay grade E-3; and
c. by granting the applicant all back pay and allowances for pay grade E-3.

The evidence of record confirms that the applicant completed 3 years of JROTC and he possessed a recommendation that he be granted an enlistment rank and pay grade of PFC/E-3 from his SSI. Thus, it concludes that it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s record to show he enlisted in the Army in the rank and pay grade of PFC/E-3 on 23 July 2002, and that this enlistment date was established as both his promotion effective date and DOR. That all of the Department of the Army...
