<p>I remember talking to my daughter after her PIR (@ 3.5 years ago), she said she didn't make E-3 because she didn't do well enough on the firing range, & didn't pass that test. She was really disappointed at that time, because she fell just shy of passing. I think she got a 2nd chance too but didn't make it.</p>

<p>Greg,</p>
<p>I know this is a few mos down the road, Just to give you a heads up my son WAS paid at th e-3 rate during GL. For the benefit of anyonw else with this problem E-1 E-2 E-3? they should go back to the recruiter who signed them up under their specific contract, we did that and they were able to go to meps to get the grade issue corrected.

<p>I know this is a few mos down the road, Just to give you a heads up my son WAS paid at th e-3 rate during GL. For the benefit of anyonw else with this problem E-1 E-2 E-3? they should go back to the recruiter who signed them up under their specific contract, we did that and they were able to go to meps to get the grade issue corrected. My son has graduated from HM a school and is now in C school for Med Lab, wasn't his choice but happy he got a C school since his orig orders from A school was to go to Japan!! Initially he was told no A school. He turned in his paper work for Japan to find out in his NIPS file they did put him into a C school. This was in his file for month before he graduated A school talk about confusion. He is having a hard time from the latest e-mail we got with the first course. He said his class is = to 2 classroom of students. He told me they just had an exam and 3/4 of the class failed the test. The next test almost the WHOLE class failed and they didn't have enough room to retest in the classroom they had to use a lab to hold them all. Go figure. Any way didn't mean to drag this out. Hope your sailor is in a more stable situation than mine is now. To my sons credit he is not quitting, he is studying his butt off.This course is 13 mos long so I'll let you know where we are then.</p>

<p>I am following your post and I hope there will be a good outcome for your son. I am <br/>sure that many others are also pulling for him.<br/><br/>I also trust that sometime after completion of boot camp, his pay issue will be resolved<br/>in his favor. His pay grade should be listed on his contract. Showing this contract to <br/>his chain of command should clear up any confusion. <br/><br/>I thank him for his service & wish him the very best of luck.<br/>Greg<br/><br/> </p>

<p>My son has E-3 in his contract and we originally understood that it meant he will not wear the rank during training but still receive the pay - yesterday, prior to signing a reclassification a different recruiter stated that "he would only be paid at the E-1 rate throughout training."

<p>Depending on how they do in A School (and if the A School does it), they have a chance to advance again, even to E-4.
