2. The applicant requests that his enlistment contract be corrected to reflect that he enlisted in the pay grade E-5 rather than E-4.
3. The applicant states that the U.S. Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) made a grade determination prior to his enlisting in the Army and that PERSCOM determined that he was eligible to enter the Army as an E-5.
4. In support of his application, the applicant submitted a copy of a determination for eligibility, dated 31 October 2001, which clearly states he was eligible to enlist in the grade of E-5.
5. The applicant’s military records show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 9 January 2002 for training in the Warrant Officer Flight Training Program. He is currently serving on active duty and is assigned to the Warrant Officer Candidate School for flight training.
6. In the processing of this case, a staff advisory opinion was obtained from PERSCOM, Appeals and Corrections Branch. The Appeals and Correction Branch opined that the applicant’s enlistment contract was erroneous due to Guidance Counselor error in not properly enlisting the applicant in the grade of E-5. The Appeals and Correction Branch recommended that the applicant’s enlistment contract be corrected to reflect the grade of E-5 and that his date of rank be adjusted to 9 January 2002.
7. On 12 March 2002, the applicant concurred with the advisory opinion.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The evidence of record and the staff advisory opinion confirm that the applicant met the requirements for enlistment in the grade of E-5.
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 by changing the grade of the individual concerned to reflect that he entered the Army in the grade of E-5, and that he be paid all back pay and allowances due him.

The applicant requests that his records be corrected to show that he enlisted in the Regular Army on 9 January 2003, in the pay grade of E-4. The applicant clearly separated from the USAR in the pay grade of E-4 and enlisted immediately into the Regular Army with the understanding that he would enlist in the pay grade of E-4 and have his DOR adjusted at his first duty station. The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief.

That officer indicated that the applicant still needed to have his enlistment contract corrected to show his pay grade as E-3. Therefore, the applicant's enlistment contract (DD Form 4/3) should be corrected to show that he enlisted in pay grade E-3 on 11 July 2002. The Board determined that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a recommendation for relief.
