3. The applicant states, in effect, that with a qualifying doctoral degree in clinical psychology he is entitled to 4 years constructive service credit. He submits a photocopy of his diploma showing he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology on 29 August 1997. He indicates that he only recently received a copy of his DA Form 5074-1-R, Record of Award of Entry Grade Credit (Health Service Officers), and became aware of this error.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he was appointed an Army Reserve (USAR) second lieutenant with a pay entry base date and a date of rank of 24 September 1997. Effective 5 December 1998, he was appointed a Medical Service Corps second lieutenant. He received no constructive service credit.
5. During the processing of this case an advisory opinion was obtained from the Chief, Medical Service Corps Division, Army Recruiting Command. It advised that the applicant should receive 4 years, 0 months and 0 days of entry grade credit. A revised DA Form 5074-1-R reflecting this change and showing a date of rank as a first lieutenant of 24 September 1995 was provided.
6. The advisory opinion and revised DA Form 5074-1-R were forwarded to the applicant and he concurred.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant should be authorized back pay based upon the entry grade credit and the changed date rank.
2. If appropriate, he should be considered by a special selection board for promotion to captain based upon his new date of rank and he should be promoted and paid, if selected.
3. In view of the foregoing, correcting the applicant’s records as recommended below would correct errors and rectify an injustice.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the individual concerned was; effective 24 September 1997, appointed a Reserve first lieutenant with a date of rank of 24 September 1995 and is authorized any back pay accruing.

As a result, the Board recommends that...
