sailor was suppose to be E3 going into to BC.....at A school still hasn't gone thru????
My daughter's recruiter says he has done all he can....She had paper work processing for her E3 prior to BC. We were told the worse case ....it will go thru while she is at bc, and when she graduates she should be e3...also told she would get back pay for the time as e2 that should have been e3. She is at a school and still nothing. She doesn't want to rock the boat but for some things I am reading she needs E3 prior to or at time of review. This is very upsetting to me. I would hate rfor her to find out she isn't eligible for something because those in charge of it didn't keep their word. What do I do?

Hey Deena,
Glad you're over here.... Clockard group has all the answers....
Anyways, how did she get E3? Was it because of ROTC or College? Do you have a copy of her contract? If not, she should go to PSD and have them review it. Secondly, have her go online and look at her LES. She maybe already getting paid as an E3, but she hasn't got the offical paperwork back yet. This just happened to my nephew. He's getting paid as an E2, but hasn't been presented the E2 yet.
Lastly, she can find it in her contract, have her run a request chit up the Chain-of-Command and ask to be promoted to E3. Many people can approve a chit, but only the CO can deny one....
Cool? -

Deena, in the Navy we have a form called a "request chit". This is just a generic form that you request something. You can request liberty, schooling, and just a bunch of other things. Here is a copy of my sons request chit. I just copied only the "Reason for Request" area since the rest is personal information. On your sailors write the same info, except change it to E3.
Here is a copy of a blank one. It's kind of funny because back in 1975 they changed the policy for asking for leave, yet here it is 2010, and I still see it on the special request form... That's really wierd.
