Can I back track to make E-5?

I would say this is a learning experience for you. A similar one I had many moons ago and 1 of 2 things I emphasized to all my Airmen: 1, noone will love your career more than you and 2, it's your responsibility to ensure your records are up to date at all times.

After promotions come out is a bad time to do that and I saw that every promotion cycle for years. Had a TSgt upset a few years back that he narrowly missed making MSgt. If a decoration he'd been awarded years before had been included he'd have made it. I told him it was not the board or personnel offices fault he didnt know what was in HIS records AND the AF sends out a reminder force wide to remind people to check every year.

Good luck to you sir.

I know this is not the answer you want to hear, however, HRC does not do or except exception to policy for unit errors. Make sure the correct info is in the system so you can compete for 1 October promotion. Good luck to you....

Had something similar happen to me back when... PCS'd out of MEPCOM[LA MEPS] had a recomp done at Ft Irwin, Ca. was holding 890+/- promotion points... 14 days later signed into MFO Det Ft. Bragg NC and they did another recomp on me... Ft. Bragg tossed out a bunch of points that Ft. Irwin had ok'd... wasn't until I rotated back to the states that I could recomp again when I signed in to Ft Carson... Funny[ha,ha] frustrating; Carson gave me back the points that Bragg had denied... Worse yet, promotion points had dropped from the usual 998 for Medics to around 860 while I was deployed, would have if... took the VSI in '92...
