2. The applicant requests, in effect, correction of item 4a (Grade/Rate/ or Rank) and item 4b (Pay Grade) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty).
3. The applicant states that his DD Form 214 shows his rank and pay grade as “PV1/E-1” and that he entered the Army and continued to serve as an “E-2” until his discharge. In support of his application, he submits a copy of his DD Form 214, several leave and earning statements (LES), and several documents from his military personnel file.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the USAR on 16 June 1995, in the pay grade of PV2/E-2. He enlisted in the Regular Army on 26 June 1995.
5. The applicant’s DD Form 1996/1 (Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States) shows that he enlisted in the pay grade of “E-2” on 16 June 1995.
6. The applicant provided several copies of documents from his personnel file which show his rank and pay grade as “PV2/E-2.” The applicant also provided copies of several LES’s which show his pay grade as “E-2” and which shows that he was separated in the pay grade of E-2 on his final LES.
7. He continued to serve until he was discharged under honorable conditions on 13 February 1997, under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph
5-8, due to parenthood.
8. Item 4a (Grade, Rate, or Rank) shows the entry “PV1” and item 4b (Pay Grade) of his DD Form 214 shows the entry “E1.”
9. There is no evidence of derogatory information in the applicant’s records.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record clearly shows that the applicant enlisted in the rank and pay grade of “PV2/E-2” on 16 June 1995, and was separated as an E-2. Therefore, it is logical to presume that the rank and pay grade on the applicant’s DD Form 214 was the result of an administrative error. The Board notes that the applicant’s records did not contain any derogatory information. Therefore, he is entitled to correction of item 4a (Grade, Rate, or Rank) to show the entry “PV2” and correction of item 4b (Pay Grade) of his DD Form 214 to show the entry
“E2.”
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 for the individual concerned be corrected:
a. by showing in item 4a (Grade, Rate, or Rank) the entry “PV2”; and
b. by showing in item 4b (Pay Grade) the entry “E2.”

The evidence of record shows he was reduced to PVT/E-1 on 2 February 1998 as a result of NJP. At the time the DA Form 4187 was prepared the applicant's rank was PVT/E-1.
