      I'm an enlisted Army retired man.  What rank did I retire at and what was (is) my date of rank? Thank you.  I have more questions when this one is resolved.

          Curtis,

           

          Try contacting Army Human Resources Command

           

          You can probably request information on your enlisted promotions status and others depending on the age.
