APPLICANT REQUESTS: The applicant requests that his enlistment contract be corrected to show he enlisted in pay grade E-2.
APPLICANT STATES: That he enlisted as an E-2, not an E-1. He provides his college transcripts as supporting evidence.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records are not available. Information contained herein was obtained from alternate sources.
As of Spring 2000 semester, the applicant completed 24 quarter hours of college credit from Ivy Tech State College. His transcripts showed he had 75 quarter points. Quarter points appear to be a multiplier of the quarter hours earned dependent upon the grade obtained in the completed course.
The applicant enlisted in the U. S. Army Reserve Delayed Enlistment Program on 25 July 2001. His Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, DD Form 4/1, shows his enlistment grade as E-2.
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 23 August 2001. His DD Form 4/3 shows his enlistment grade as E-1.
Army Regulation 601-210 prescribes eligibility criteria governing the enlistment of persons, with or without prior service, into the Regular Army and the U.S. Army Reserve. In pertinent paragraphs, it states that the date of rank for persons without prior service enlisting in the Regular Army will be the date of enlistment on active duty. Applicants who have successfully completed 30 or more classroom semester hours (45 or more quarter hours ) of an accredited college or university are authorized to enlist in pay grade E-2.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.
2. The transcripts provided as evidence do not support the applicant’s contention that he should have enlisted in pay grade E-2. Unless there are additional transcripts which were not attached to the application, the provided transcripts show that the applicant completed only 24 quarters hours. To enlist in pay grade E-2 he needed at least 45 quarters hours. If there are no additional transcripts, then it appears that recruiting personnel misread the 75 quarter points as quarter hours and erroneously enlisted him in the Delayed Entry Program in pay grade E-2.
3. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

His enlistment contract specified that he was entitled to enlistment in pay grade of E-3 under the provisions of Army Regulation 601-210, table 2-3, rule E-3, based on his education.

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.

It appears the original education transcripts provided to the recruiter at the time of entry into the DEP were foreign and needed to undergo a foreign education evaluation for advancement determination purposes. The evidence of record shows the applicant enlisted in the USAR DEP in pay grade E-1 on 1 October 2013, he was discharged from the USAR DEP, and he enlisted in the RA in pay grade E-1 on 13 January 2014. Since he completed 39 semester hours prior to his enlistment, his foreign...
