Military Rank Is Doesn't Match

[teejay53]

hi all;

a friend of mine rank doesn't match. he went to get a new military id card yesterday and was told his dd-214 has e-1 and his id card (the card he has had since he was released from service in late 70's) has e-2. the gentleman who helped him yesterday said his rank showing on the record the va rep accessed showed 0 and nothing else. no one seems to know hoe to fix this so my friend can get a new military id card. my friend has a general discharge under honorable conditions.

i was told to contact the base he was released at, but the base (fort ord) closed in 1994.

any help from you all is greatly appreciated.

i found the answer to my posting. if anyone else has this problem there is a va form you mail in with a copy of your dd-214 and military id.

it is form:

dd0149

APPLICATION FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORD UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 10, U.S. CODE, SECTION 1552

except for DIC the rank does NOT matter E6 and below get one rate and E7 and above get a higher rate of DIC benefits the ID card for disabled vets lets us all use MWR Commissary and PX facilities regardless of the rank

Yeah but I think if you want to use Officer's club & BOQ or NCO club you may need rank on your card. Below E-5 I don't think it matters. jmo
