HRS §124B-95
Court-martial sentences that reduce enlisted rank
This section says that when a court-martial sentences an enlisted member to a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge, or to confinement, the member's pay grade is automatically lowered to E-1, if the governor or adjutant general has authorized such a reduction. The reduction starts on the day the judgment is recorded. If the sentence is later changed or overturned, the member gets back lost rights and pay.

The reduction in pay grade shall take effect on the date on which the judgment is so entered.
