THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests that item 4-b (pay grade) on his September 2002 separation document be corrected to show 0-2E vice 02.
2. The applicant states he was being paid in the grade of 0-2E at the time of his separation from active duty in 2002 as a result of his more than 4 years of prior enlisted and warrant officer service. He states the transition officer who prepared his separation document told him that he could only enter 0-2 on the separation document. The applicant states that he is now in the Coast Guard and needs the correction to receive pay at the appropriate grade.
3. The applicant provides no evidence in support of his request.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. Records available to the Board indicate that the applicant entered active duty as an enlisted Soldier on 4 October 1994 for the purpose of undergoing warrant officer flight training. He was discharged on 27 February 1995 for the purpose of accepting his appointment as a warrant officer. He was immediately ordered to active duty in that capacity.
2. On 22 September 1999 he was discharged for the purpose of accepting a United States Army Reserve commission as a second lieutenant. At the time of his 1999 separation he had a total of 4 years, 11 months, and 19 days of combined enlisted and warrant officer service. He was called to active duty as a commissioned officer on 23 September 1999. He was promoted to the grade of first lieutenant on 23 March 2001.
3. In April 2002 the applicant declined to accept Voluntary Indefinite (VI) Status and as such was released from active duty on 22 September 2002. Item 4-b of his separation document reflects his pay grade as “02.”
4. Army Regulation 635-5, which prescribes the policies and provisions for the preparation of the Department of Defense Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) states that item 4 will reflect the “active duty grade or rank and pay grade at the time of separation.”
5. Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation states that effective 1 October 1993 commissioned officers in pay grades 0-1, 0-2, or 0-3, who are credited with at least 4 years and 1 day of combined prior active service as an enlisted member and warrant officer are entitled to the special rate of basic pay grade 0-1E, 0-2E, or 0-3E.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The evidence confirms that the applicant had more than 4 years of active enlisted and warrant officer service when he was ordered to active duty as United States Army Reserve officer and as such, at the time of his separation he would have been serving in the recognized pay grade of 0-2E. His records should be corrected accordingly.
