The Military Branch/Grade/Rank Update program allows you to add and update Military Branch/Grade/Rank codes. You use this program to create the proper associations between Pay Grade (i.e. E-1, E-5, O-3, etc…) and Rank (i.e. Private, Sergeant, Captain, etc…) as they pertain to the various branches of the US Military.
Generally speaking, this program is used in US Military Morale, Welfare, and Rec (MWR) and CYMS Databases only.
Note: Field names on the screen with red labels* are required by the screen design you are using. Mandatory fields in the default Vermont Systems design are noted where appropriate. Your design and mandatory fields may vary.
Prior to using this program, Military Branch, Military Grade, and Military Rank Codes must be established. These Codes are maintained in Miscellaneous Code Detail Management.
