APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His date of rank (DOR) to the grade of captain be changed from 
1 Apr 11 to 7 Jun 10.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was unjustly required to remain a first lieutenant for over 
three years, which will affect his future promotion eligibility 
dates. 

 

He completed two years time-in-grade (TIG) as a first lieutenant 
on 18 Jan 10, and one year on the Reserve Active Status List 
(RASL) on 6 Jun 10. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
promotion orders to first lieutenant and captain, an Air National 
Guard Officer Data Verification Brief (DRB), and a Virtual 
Military Personnel Flight (VMPF) Personal Information Promotion 
Information Page. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

ARPC/DPB recommends denial. DPB states the applicant met the TIG 
requirement based on his constructive service credit awarded at 
appointment, as of 18 Jan 10. He was not statutorily eligible 
for promotion consideration until after he had completed one year 
on the RASL and the applicant did not have one year on the RASL 
until 5 Jun 10. The next available promotion opportunity for the 
grade of captain had a convening date of 1 Oct 10, with DORs 
beginning 1 Apr 11, the applicant’s current DOR. The applicant 


already has the earliest DOR possible after he met the statutory 
requirement for promotion consideration. 

 

The complete DPB evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 28 Oct 11, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a 
response has not been received (Exhibit C). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice 
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of 
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
