<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So this person claimed they were promoted back to E6 retroactively because they received an Honorable discharge? The only ocassion I have seen of something like this is a Marine I had was a Cpl and NJP&#39;d for suspected DUI while the case was still pending. He was busted to E3 a week before he was supposed to pin on Sgt. He ended up EAS&#39;ing a few months later. His DUI case was tossed shortly after because of a faulty breathalyzer that created a false positive. We were able to get not only his rank of Cpl restored but also his promotion to Sgt and all the back pay he missed along the way. This was a special case. Your story being told to you doesn&#39;t make much sense.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your DD Form 214 reflects your current grade at time of discharge so if you didn’t get promoted after the reduction, you cannot have the higher grade reflected on the 214.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. They would have to prove it was erroneous or improper through a board of corrections.<br /><br />The upside is no one cares about rank in the civilian world

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This might be different if you were retiring. One retires &quot;at the highest grade held.&quot; That&#39;s true for Commissioned Officers. If this is Not true for Enlisted, I will stand corrected.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is no basis to win an appeal. However there is nothing stopping them from trying.
