2. The applicant states that he was not given sufficient notification to provide the necessary orders to prove he was promoted to the rank of SGT.
3. The applicant provides a copy of orders promoting him to SGT and his DD Form 214.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant’s military records are not available to the Board. This case is being considered using reconstructed records, which primarily consist of his DD Form 214.
2. The applicant enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) on 7 October 1999.
3. He was promoted to the rank of specialist (SPC)/pay grade E-4 with an effective date of 7 October 1999.
4. The applicant's DD Form 214 shows he was ordered to active duty in support of Operation Desert Spring on 4 June 2002. He served in Southwest Asia from 4 August 2002 through 21 January 2003.
5. The applicant provided a copy of Task Force, 7th Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, Camp Doha, Kuwait Order Number 351-6 dated 17 December 2002 which promoted him to SGT/E-5 with a date of rank and an effective date of 17 December 2002.
6. The applicant was released from active duty on 13 February 2003 at the completion of his required active service.
7. Item 4a on his DD Form 214 shows the entry "SPC." Item 4b on his discharge document shows the entry "E4."
8. Headquarters, U.S. Army Reserve Command Orders Number 03-150-00017 dated 30 May 2003 discharged the applicant from the USAR on 6 May 2003 in the rank of SGT.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
1. Orders show the applicant was promoted to SGT/E-5 on 17 December 2002. However, his DD Form 214 shows he released from active duty in the rank of SPC/E-4.
2. It appears that an administrative error has occurred in this case and it would be appropriate to amend items 4a and 4b on the applicant's DD Form 214 to show "SGT" and "E-5, " respectively.
