The Board concluded that the Petitioner was not advanced to UT3 E4 on June 16, 2003 as indicated block 12h.

Furthermore, the Board noted that back pay is not warranted because the Petitioner’s record indicated that the Petitioner’s UT3 E4 became effective September 16, 2006, and as such, all pay and entitlements followed this advancement.
