Hi, my husband was supposed to be push buttoned to E4 when he arrived at his first ship back in August. He was then told that the system was down, but he would be back payed to that date. He's had a few people tell him different things about whether or not that's true... Does anyone know? Or know who to ask. He asked me to Google it but I can't find anything

The system was down?  No, maybe locally on his ship?  

He needs to go to Personnel and have the YN review his record.  Details such as time in service and time in rate. He may need to do his leadership courses, etc.  Even a push button needs to meet those requirements.  This is not something google will help with, he needs to be proactive and bother his Chain of Command and PSD.  Too much private info to be giving out over the internet as far as details go.

To answer the question we need to know the rating, and what paygrade he left boot camp as, and if he received the promotion because he was #1 in his class....
The system on the ship was down for 2 Months. Trying to be as vague as possible, but he left boot camp as an E3, which was early April. He did his leadership course the first month he was at the ship (late August/early Sept). He just got his e4, but hasn't had a pay cycle since then. We're mostly wondering if he's supposed to be back payed, because that's what he was told when he got there. But he's heard mixed things since then

His recruiter originally told him he'd make e4 after graduating c school.
If they promoted him to E-4, the he does have a rating. He still has to complete his 6 months Time In Service (TIS) to be eligible for the pay. Once that day is reached, then he will start seeing the pay. However, sometimes the Navy gets back logged, but they will back pay him for the amount owed. He needs to contact his PS to make sure everything is on track....
