	IN THE CASE OF: 

	BOARD DATE:  5 December 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:  AR2000042390

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  

	Mr. Carl W. S. Chun		Director	
	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Ms. Ann M. Campbell		Chairperson	
	Mr. Jose A. Martinez		Member	
	Mr. Allen L. Raub		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests that her rank be corrected on her discharge.

3.  The applicant states that she was promoted to pay grade E-5 prior to her transfer.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she was assigned to a USAR unit in pay grade E-4 and was promoted to pay grade E-5 effective 1 October 1994.  Effective 17 March 1995 she was reassigned to the Individual Ready Reserve at her request.  Orders number 045-003 show her pay grade as E-5.

5.  Effective 3 October 1995 she was discharged from the USAR on the expiration of her term of service (ETS).  Orders number D-10-587787 show her pay grade as E-4 and the rank of specialist is shown on her discharge certificate.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is no evidence of record to show that the applicant was the subject of administrative proceedings that would have resulted in her reduction from pay grade E-5 prior to her discharge.

2.  The applicant was serving in pay grade E-5 at the time of her transfer to the IRR and she is entitled to have that pay grade and rank correctly shown on her separation documents.

3.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case for the individual concerned be corrected by showing that she was discharged from the USAR on 3 October 1995 in the pay grade of E-5 and the rank of sergeant.
