APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show he was released from active duty in pay grade E-3.
APPLICANT STATES: That he was an "E-3" not an "E-1." He submitted a copy of his DD Form 214 in support of his application.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
The applicant was enlisted in the Regular Army on 20 October 1993 in pay grade E-1.
The applicant's Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) for the period 1 to 31 July 1996 obtained from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) shows his pay grade as E-2. His LES for the period 1 to 31 August 1996 shows his pay grade was changed from E-2 to E-1 effective on 24 July 1996.
Headquarters, Fort Carson, Colorado Orders 271-0003, dated 27 September 1996 released the applicant from active duty on 19 November 1996 in the rank of private E-1 (PV1).
The applicant's DD Form 214 shows he was released from active duty on 19 November 1996 in pay grade E-1 with an effective date of pay grade of 24 July 1996.
There is no evidence available to the Board which shows the applicant was promoted to pay grade E-3.
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 Board notes the applicant's contention that he was an "E-3" at the time of his separation. However, the evidence of record shows he was released from active duty in pay grade E-1.
3. Records at DFAS appear to show the applicant was reduced from pay grade E-2 to E-1 in July 1996 and there is no evidence which shows he was promoted to pay grade E-3 prior to his release from active duty.
4. Based on the foregoing, there is insufficient basis for correcting his DD Form 214 to show his pay grade as E-3.
5. 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.
