XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be promoted to the grade of captain in 1945 upon separation from active
duty or in 1950, after serving an additional five years in the Reserve.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 5 November 2001, the Board reconsidered applicant’s request that he be
promoted to the grade of captain in 1945 upon separation from active duty
or in 1950, after serving an additional five years in the Reserve. The
Board found insufficient evidence of an error or injustice and denied the
application. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding
the application, and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board,
see Exhibit J.
In letters, dated 21 October and 5 December 2003, and 1 June 2004, the
applicant requests reconsideration of his request and provides additional
documentation. The applicant’s complete submissions are at Exhibit K.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and the additional
documentation provided by applicant, we find sufficient relevant evidence
has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to
warrant his promotion to the grade of captain effective 1 July 1945. The
former commanding officer of the 67th Bomb Squadron has provided a
statement indicating that he approved the recommendation to promote the
applicant to the grade of captain and forwarded the paperwork through
proper channels for processing in January 1945; however, prior to his
promotion paperwork returning, the applicant completed his tour and
departed the squadron. In view of this, and given his officer rating of
“excellent,” we believe his records should be corrected to show that he was
promoted to the grade of captain effective 1 July 1945, when he completed
the requisite time in grade requirements for promotion. Therefore, we
recommend the applicant’s records be corrected to the extent indicated
below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 1 July 1945, he was promoted to
the grade of captain.
