THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, STATEMENT, AND EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant requests correction of items 4a (Grade, Rate or Rank), 4b (Pay Grade) and 12i (Effective Date of Pay Grade) on his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty).

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:
1. The applicant enlisted in the Regular Army on 3 January 2008 and trained as a satellite communications systems operator/maintainer. On 7 January 2010, he was honorably discharged for a condition, not a disability.
2. Item 4a on the applicant's DD Form 214 shows the entry "PFC" [private first class]. Item 4b on his DD Form 214 shows the entry "E03." Item 12i on his DD Form 214 shows the entry "2008 01 03" [3 January 2008].
3. Records at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) show the applicant was an E-4 from 3 January 2010 through 7 January 2010.
4. In support of his claim, the applicant provided his ERB which shows he was promoted to E-4 on 3 January 2010 in Section III (Service Data).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The DFAS information and the entry on the applicant's ERB which show the applicant was an E-4 effective 3 January 2010 are accepted as sufficient evidence on which to amend items 4a, 4b, and 12i on his DD Form 214.

The applicant provided orders 272-03, dated 29 September 2009, which promoted him to SGT/E-5, effective 1 October 2009. Chapter 2 contains guidance on the preparation of the DD Form 214 and states that items 4a and 4b show the active duty grade or rank and pay grade at time of separation and are obtained from the Soldier's records (promotion or reduction orders). His record shows he was a promotable SPC/E-4.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100012124
The applicant requests that his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) be corrected to show his rank as staff sergeant (SSG)/E-6. These orders directed the applicant's release from active duty in the rank of SGT with an effective date of 11 March 2010. The evidence of record confirms the applicant was promoted to the rank and grade of SSG/E-6 on 30 September 2009 and this was the rank he held on his date of separation from active duty as evidenced by the...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140003115
The applicant provided a document titled, "Recommended List for Promotion of Enlisted Personnel," dated 10 March 2013, that lists his name as a promotable SGT. Finally, the applicant's retirement or release from assignment order should be amended to show he was placed on the retired list in the rank and grade of SSG/E-6. As a result, the Board recommends that all Department of the Army records of the individual concerned be corrected by: * promoting him to SSG/E6 effective 28 March 2013...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100028516
Application for correction of military records (with supporting documents provided, if any). The applicant requests items 4a (Grade, Rate, or Rank), 4b (Pay Grade), and 12i (Effective Date of Pay Grade) of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 2 September 2010 be corrected. Records from DFAS show his pay grades as: * Pay grade E-3 from 11 August 2009 through 14 February 2010 * Pay grade E-4 from 15 February 2010 through 2 September...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2013 | 20130006829
The applicant provides: * FY 2013 SFC selection list * DA Form 638 (Recommendation for Award) * Award certificate for the MSM * DD Forms 214 for the periods ending 26 April 2002, 6 February 2003, and 27 March 2013 CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. Permanent Order 18-10, dated 18 January 2013, shows he received the MSM for meritorious service for the period 1 March 2003 to 4 March 2013. The available promotion orders which show he was promoted to SFC effective 27 March 2013 are accepted as...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110001971
The applicant requests items 4a (Grade, Rate, or Rank), 4b (Pay Grade), and 12i (Effective Date of Pay Grade) of her DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) for the period ending 16 October 2010 be corrected. Her DFAS LES, dated 5 November 2010, shows her pay grade as E-3. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The DFAS information which shows the applicant was separated in the pay grade of E-3 on 16 October 2010 is accepted as sufficient evidence on which to amend items...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110022224
The applicant requests correction of her military records to show her correct rank. The DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) she was issued at the time shows in: * Item 4a (Grade, Rate or Rank) the entry "PFC" * Item 4b (Pay Grade) the entry "E03" * Item 12i (Effective Date of Pay Grade) the entry "2009 06 11" (11 June 2009) 4.

Thus, it would be appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show the ARCOM (2nd Award). The evidence of record shows he was promoted to * 1LT (O-2) effective 18 September 2011 * CPT (O-3) effective 1 March 2014 a. c. Thus, the evidence of record shows the applicant's DD Form 214 should be corrected to show his correct rank, grade, and effective date.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140006597
The applicant provides: * his DD Form 214 * his Enlisted Record Brief (ERB) * a DA Form 4187 * a Memorandum for Record CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE: 1. However, there is no corroborating evidence of record nor does his MMPA at DFAS show he was advanced to SPC/E-4 during his period of active duty service from 13 September 2010 to 16 January 2014. Evidence of record shows he held the rank/pay grade PFC/E-3 with a date of rank of 13 September 2010 on his effective date of separation from the Army.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2014 | 20140001926
The applicant contends that his DD Form 214, DFAS records, and TRICARE/medical records were not corrected to show he was promoted to MAJ because he was promoted just prior to his retirement. While orders were published showing he was promoted to MAJ effective 1 August 2012, the law states that to retire in the grade of MAJ he would have had to serve six months in that grade. While it is appropriate to correct his DD Form 214 to show his rank as MAJ, his DFAS and TRICARE/medical records...
